    my school's strong man contest.

    im in a strong man contest in a couple weeks. how can i get strong as possible in a week, meaning what is the best single week of workouts routine for bulk-up major strength increase.
    i do 30 on biceps.
    140 on vertical bench.
    35 with dumbbells for bench press
    90 x 18 per set on both lat pulldown and row pull.
    i dont remember how strong my lower back is, but i have really bad posture.
    i am 15, can do 12 dips, 12 bicep chin-ups, 4 lat chinups
    1 am 6'2", 180lbs, 10-12% body fat
    my legs are pretty strong though i dpnt remember what i do for them. i mostly do Martial Arts workouts for them. (can you target areas for fat loss?)
    i dont know exactly what we do in the contest, but i'd like to improve really fast. also, what should i eat day of?

    how do you expect to gain strength in one week? It takes years of consistent training to have a decent amount of strength.

    at 6'2" 180 lbs im sorry to say your not yet strong for your size based on what you posted. 140 lbs on bench, you should be able to rep 225 at your height and weight

    There is no way to increase strength in 2 weeks... with out maximum pump.

    2 weeks, okay. your gonna have to put weight lifting aside for now, to break the muscle down manualy. squeeze your arms really hard until it hurts really bad. This is how you tear muscle fiber faster. Give them a day or two to recouperate, and for the bruises to heal. drastic times call for drastic measures.

    Idk... my bench has gone up an average of 2.5lbs every week for the last 4 months... 40lbs total... it's possible for him to make some gains... but he is starting too late to make huge progress.

    You have never met a 15 year old that can bench more than 140? Most people who have trained for more than 6 months can bench there own body weight if they aren't obesed.

    Calm down man, no one's doin anything to you. You're acting like you're 15... people are here to give you advice... don't freak out and get so defensive.

    well, it looks like you solved your problem of getting stronger right there. If you CAN DO 180-200 why are you wasting your time doing 140? That would be to light for you to increase your strength. You need to lift heavy and work on progressive resistance from week to week.

    For sure... I gain hard, but I gain really consistently as long as I eat big and lift in like a 3-5 or 4-6 rep failure range. I don't know everyone else's opinion on this, but I personally think AST-SS.com has the best workout strategies I've ever followed... I tried alot, but I never gained previously.

    You're doing great Iron, since you started this thread you're bench has gone up from 140 to 180-200 and now to 180-200 for 2 or 3.....great work !!! keep training like that and in a week you will be benching 350-650 for 3 or 4 or 5 or 6.
    I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

    HAHAHAHaha, if this ain't a future strong man I don't know what is!
    But for real if you want to increase your strength, you should only do 4-6 reps
    to failure. and make sure to rest enough before, at least 72hours. so then you've only got 4 days left hahahaha, just kiddin man, kick some ass and tell these biches that they lost because they do not visit IRONMAGAZINE.com

    If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you always got.

    just think if we deleted the two word only thread, the post whore thread, etc., then their post counts would drop to about half!
