Wrassler said:the only way to get stronger is to build more muscle fiber. period. end of story. Ever see a skinny powerlifter? You do realize that their scoring is done v.s. weight right?
If it were possible to bench 600lbs and weigh 100 lbs, you would turn the powerlifting world on it's ass... it is simply not possible.
you will notice a slight strength increase as you learn to incorporate more muscle fibers, but you will reach a limit.
You will also be making more muscle fiber, but losing fat... hence getting stronger and staying the same weight.
you *WILL* plateau. this is a fact. you *WILL* have to gain weight (muscle) in order to get stronger.
