Question
Hi, I am 19 years old, 5 ft 10 inches tall and i weigh 165 pounds.
I have been weight training for nearly a year and have seen very slight improvements in my strength. My goal is to get stronger with minimum weight gain because i am already stocky. However if there is no way to gain strength without gaining weight i will somehow adjust with it since strength is my priority. So please suggest me a solid workout that will promote maximum strength gains in the shortest time possible. I currently follow stronglifts 5 x 5 but now i have plateaued. I have not been seeing any strength gains for the past 1 month. I want pure, raw, functional strength. Please help.
Thanks
Answer
let's see...you're 19, been lifting on some patented formlua for 1 year without much in gains and you somehow imagine you have "plateaued"?

monday...musclesnatch, 10x2.
tuesday...powerclean&press, 10x2.
wednsday...cleanpulls,10x2..&..(rack)standing.overheadpress,10x2.
thursday...overhandgrip:deadlift, 10x2..&..(rack)PUSHpress,10x2.
