Looking to gain muscular strength not size - what to do and what not ?

Barbell complexes with the appropriate weight whilst still performing the heavies at the other spectrum of your strength program to maintain the desired level of strength. as I've already mentioned, it's best to insure adequate calories in order to maintain bodyweight or better still, change the composition of it (as you see on Olympic weightlifters bar the superheavyweights).

So yes, you will be mighty strong and as an icing on the cake, ripped to shreds at around 10% body fat.


Fadi.
 

Mind blowing!

at 60.3 kg or 132.938 pounds (my present weight - 17 feb 2011) My lifts are too light! I squat & deadlift only using unloaded barbell (45 lbs). my best lifts for bench press - 45 kg / 100 pounds. I am positive I can improve my strength gradually.
 


Thanks for your thoughts. I am gonna try the best I can to put them in practice
 
Your weight is controlled by your energy intake vs energy expenditure, so if you don't want to get bigger consume at 'maintenance'
 
WTF an increased metabolism isn't how you get strong
By that theory I could take laxatives (ore something to that effect) and I'd automatically get strong
You get strong by lifting heavy shit. Plain and simple
