Or are they just for strength gains? __________________ Max lifts: Squat: 195kg - 429lbs (training) ..seriously outdated.. Bench press: 135kg - 297lbs (training) Deadlift: 190kg - 418lbs (training)

Check out the physiques of any olympic-style weightlifter.Primarily all the lifters under the heavyweight class carry quite a bit of lean muscle mass, especially on the posterior chain. __________________ \"You smack me again and I\'m throwin you a beatin\"
