Question....

[mucleboywannabe]

is there a way to gain maximum strength without getting really bulky?

[rephrase] is there a way to gain a lot of strength without gaining a lot of muscle ?

imo, gaining fat is one way :]

i'm saying this from, watching Strongman on OLN , guys with potbellies lol, they are very strong!

err,, it will mostly be diet, but if you keep in the 1-5 rep range maybe even 1-8.. you shouldnt gain that much size. low reps is for strenght, higher is for size but just watch what you eat!

You need to lift at or near your 1RM.

3x3x95%

As another pimping, "New Rules of Lifting" has a section on strength training designed around wave loading.

what does 3x3x96% and 1RM mean?

1RM is your 1 rep max...the maximum amount you can lift only 1 time.

3x3x96% means 3 set, 3 reps using a weight that is 96% of your 1RM
