Why most of you can`t build muscles

When it comes to dead-lifts, squats and bench presses don't train like a power-lifter instead train like a bodybuilder. The dead-lift, squat and bench press or the big three as I like to call them are not really needed in the sport of bodybuilding. What I mean by that is that the big three are not really muscle-building exercises if you do them using the conventional power-lifting rep ranges of one to three repetitions.

Now, look at this if you for example do dead-lifts, squats and the bench press for let's say six to twelve repetitions, I can guarantee you that you will put on some quality size on your body.

Look at Tom Platz for example, he squatted like crazy for crazy amounts of reps and the result of that was that he had one of the biggest legs in the whole wide world. Now, look at his power-lifting counterpart the famous power-lifter Fred Hatfield which was known to squat an immense weight of eight hundred fifty-five pounds, for one single rep. Yeah, you read that right Fred Hatfield squatted eight hundred fifty-five pounds for one rep but was still smaller than Tom Platz. His legs where not even on the same level as Tom's legs.

Now you may be asking "Why is that?", well it's quite simple really. The muscle grows when you go to complete muscular failure both positively, negatively and statically with the most weight you can handle for the most amount of reps you can do, while keeping your form picture perfect.

Therefore the next time when you want to try dead-lifting, bench pressing or squatting don't go for one to two reps, instead go to complete muscular failure while keeping the form picture perfect with the mot weight you can handle for the most amount of reps you can do. If you want a big muscular physique don't be like the power-lifters in the gym which train for strength instead be a bodybuilder which trains for size and definition. Now the stronger you are the bigger you will get since the muscle grows on strength, however though don't be fooled. There is a difference between doing forty pound dumbbell curls for one rep then as opposed to forty pound dumbbell curls to complete muscular failure. In order to get bigger you must pump out as many reps as you can using the most weight you can handle, remember that!
