how to increase strength...

i go lifting 5 to 6 days a week.. and about 2 months ago i started pyramiding everything, for every muscle group... usually 4 to 5 exercises per body part (bis, tris, chest, shoulders, back, traps, lowerback(deadlifts), squats and general leg shit)...

and now 2 months later i've gained a lot of strength.. i've always read about pyramiding being a good way to break through boundries and increase weight, and now i am doing it and it works...

before i started i was 173 at 6'0 doing 225 only like 2 times...

now i'm 176 (basically the same), but i can bust out 225 8 times, and did 245 3 times for a 5th set... i'm sure i can max out to 275 though. also up to 100 lbs per arm for dumbell press at about 6 reps.

so yeah, for those of you who want to gain a lot of strength, deadlifts, squats, and pyramiding everything.. thats like 6 to 8 sets per body part, starting on light weight, goin to heavy, then back down. i also eat a lot of tuna and chicken.

anyhow, thought i'd share that
