The truth I've discovered is that you don't have to lift enormous weights to grow muscle. By using stricter form, slower negatives, and stretching between sets you can get an incredible pump in all your workouts. Numbers are an abstraction, especially to muscles. Your body doesn't know the absolute weight of what you lift, it only recognizes how heavy it feels. The secret is to make lighter weights feel heavier.

In those days, I did what was necessary for me to win. This included training with heavy weights: a precursor for injury.

If I had done that, my physique wouldnâ€™t have been quite as bulky, but with more definition and with less pain.
