Well thought Id mention how I got on with my new workout which was
Casler style [three work sets 20r/10r/5r]

I started properly early November and on nearly every workout since
[3 times a week] I have gotten stronger on at least one set often
every set of a exercise and sometimes all exercises.
As I expected I was getting a rep or two more usually. I do recall
occasionally adding weight and reps.
I added 30 kilos to my 5 rep squat set it has to be noted though that
half way through the cycle I went up a pin. On the big exercises I
added about 10 or twelve kilos per set.
I really enjoyed the extra time in the gym and working in different
rep ranges.

The strange thing is have put on much muscle but I do feel my back has
grown [thickened] and has a bit more detail, but my arms and legs are
the same as before. I have had problems with injury so I haven't
trained my triceps throughout and when I have its been a low ROM. I
also was only able to train my chest and shoulders for a few months
due to injury. But the leg and back work have been used constantly. I
did have a few weeks off training altogether.


I was taking in more protein than I normally would do.
I haven't been able to get my hands on protein for a few weeks so I
have tended to eat more nuts etc. This has led to a weight increase
but it seems to be fat.

Thinking about it my back had the most constant volume and seems to
have improved which is interesting.

I am still getting a rep here and there more on the workout but feel
its starting to run its course as I will improve on one set then the
next one I will lose a few reps.

I would have thought strength increases without resulting growth can
happen to a point and its individual but I must have had enough
calories if I put on some fat. And surely strength increases require a
good amount of calories to be consumed?

Any thoughts welcome
