Lifting Weights! Is It possible too...??

Question

Go from 170 pounds to 190 or 200 pounds in under a year?

I am lifting weights and I just want to look bigger. Cause im 6"1 and skinny. What is the fastest way to build more muscle?? and im only 17

Answer 1

It certainly is possible in any exercise. I am assuming you are talking about a straight-bar bench press. When I first started lifting weights I went from a benching routine of roughly 3 sets of 6 reps at 95 lbs(which is quite weak but im tall and thin too. I only weighed 135lbs) and at around the year mark I was doing 3 by 8 of 135 + max-out set of 155. Granted making 40 gains gets harder as you get farther but I proceeded to make 20-25 lb jumps per year without taking protein. My legs are much stronger anyways. I can incline leg press (against gravity) a max of about 1000 lbs and I can squat 300 lbs. In any case you are very strong for 17 and good luck.
