I want to achieve greater strength without appearing as if had such strength. This idea popped out of my head when I was arm wrestling with a peer who was much more bulkier than me but struggled to beat me. I have been working out and been getting bulkier, but now my fitness is gonna start appearing obvious, I want that scrawny appearance I once had while still being able to bench twice my bodyweight.
Why
I look sexier scrawny and toned, simple.
>I was arm wrestling
It ever occurred to you that the other guy went easy, or alternatively didn't expect you to go full spastic off the bat?
He wasn't going easy, you weren't there.
Arm wrestling is mostly technique, it's not uncommon at all for the smaller guy to win.
Let me guess, you are lifting for a "sleeper physique"?
Yep something like that
What you're describing has as much to do with age as it does with program anyway. You can't go back.
Sir, if you are a ninja you must tell us RIGHT NOW!!!
who are you?
SS but without the 5 meal a day eating disorder diet
also you're probably going to want to lower your water retention by fasting just before your arm wrestling match or whatever
Lift like a powerlifter trying to not move up a weight class. High weight, low reps for just a few sets.
Pick three compounds (excluding deadlift)
Use your training max (90% of 1rm)
Lift 3x a week
Week 1 3-5x5 @70%
Week 2 3-5x5 @80%
Week 3 3-4x3 @90%
Week 4 3-5x5 @75%
Week 5 3-5x4 @85%
Week 6 3x3 @95%
Deadlifts do 1 set of 5 each day at the prescribed %.
Re-test 1rm every 6-12 weeks depending on how much of a noob you are. If you’re a super noob just do the first three weeks and raise weights linearly until you can’t.
Badly worded, do all three of your picked compounds each day you lift, with deadlifts at the end.
calisthenics, but you need to master the advanced movements.
No. You must make a choice. Be strong or be a homosexual
Low volume, high intensity, ie. 1x5 for example. Look up how decathletes, floor gymnasts or other athletes who need high power with low bodyweight train.
