I learned this one the hard way. When I first got into lifting weights at the age of seventeen, I wanted to get strong and I wanted to get big. Sound familiar? So, this lead to me lifting 5 sets of 5 reps for about 5 years. It is what dudes in magazines did so it must work. I got kind of strong and kind of big, but also spent about three of those years lifting the same weights. It wasn’t until after I learned about strength training through my education with Opex Fitness that
