i was benching 400 lbs 20 years ago, so no i am not trying to put on muscle. i had all the muscle i needed 20 years ago. i lost about half of it since then but, still have enough.
i just like to be awesome - it's my thing.

You will if you ingest steroids. That's the key element for muscle growth.
which part of i am not trying to put on muscle do you not understand ?
I didn't say you should. Just saying you could. Not worth the side effects IMO
steroids - 40%
growth hormone, insulin, IGF-1 - 20%
genetics - 20%
diet and training - 20%
for strength ( as opposed to size ) something else becomes a factor - your MIND
i was able to outlift everybody due to superiority of my mind. we were all on steroids, but i was still stronger.
for things like Olympic Lifting and Butterfly mind altogether vaults to number 1 factor in the equation, which is why this is how i train now.
why compete with others on something they all can do ( take drugs ). i choose to compete on something only i can do ( use my mind ).
this is called being smart. google it.
