progress
so.. i have seen some real strength increases in most of my lifts. the ones i keep close track of have all been steadily going up, my bench is up to 225 x 4 or 235 x 1 from under 200 lbs to start. bicep curl, pullups, ive noticed large increases across the board. So why havent i seen any changes in my body really at all. I eat Clean, and i eat plenty of food. I would really like to see an increase in the size of my arms but this doesnt seem to be happening. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated. Until then, ill just keep on truckin.

Don’t worry, the growth will come - and from the gains in strength, probably pretty soon now. Hang in there!

I’m hoping not to be offensive but I don’t think your training in the right rep range bro, 235lb bench is impressive, really impressive in fact but training for strength and training for mass gains are a little different, I think if you were to drop the weight and train within 8-12 reps you notice more of a change, bear in mind it won’t be overnight. with a 225 bench for 5 I think you should try around 175-200lbs for reps of 12. failing anywhere between 8-12. eating enough and training that way should work imho
