Also, you need rest days or you will overtrain. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk.

It's a great weight class for me to be fighting in (135) and I don't see a need to gain extra weight just to be bigger. Not everyone is looking to get huge... For some of us, a little more mass or definition, or in my case, strength and speed, serve our needs just fine. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk.

If theres no need to make a weight class i dont see any reason why not be big and thick, this is the strength section and Iv found the easyist way to get stronger is to get heavyer.

You are right, it is easier to get stronger if you are heavier, but I have always enjoyed being the lightweight lifting with the football team... -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk.
