Reply With QuoteIf you want more size stay at that weight for 3-4wks and rep rep rep! Do as many as you can. That number will shoot way up! Then up the weight 20lbs and rep away at that weight and so on. If you want more strength use heavy weight... Within reason. Also don't be in a rush to add weight to fast as you can and will most likly hurt yourself.
This is how I would do it if I where you.

lifting on cycle
a while ago I re-injured my back lifting, I started to notice guys on cycle would injure themselves and have to avoid that muscle group or go light. I was wondering if you normally lift lets just make it easy numbers 200 bench and then into week 2 your able to lift 250 if it a good idea to do so. I know I loved the added strength but I'm thinking just because you can doesn't mean you should.
I'm thinking that you have the added strength but the muscle and joint aren't ready to support the extra weight. I'm planning out my next cycle and wanted to know what people think. I have alot of injuries and would like to strengthen up my weak areas but not come off cycle injured.

I agree, dont be in a rush to increase the weight too fast. A small bump of 5-10lbs per week would be the most I would increase any lift. Any more than that and you are getting into the injury danger zone.

thats pretty much what I was thinking, use to be more reps if you wanna tone and heavier weight less reps for bulk. right now I mix it up. I lift heavy but not too crazy for 2-3 sets then last set I cut the weight in half and do as many reps as I can. this usually leaves me pretty sore.

ya good advice, usually I get excited when I feel the strength increase I start adding weight and maxing out right away. I've been working out off and on for 20 years and still feel like I don't know what I'm doing. I was in a gnarly motorcyle accident 10 years ago and it comes back to bother me randomly.
