Is there some secret recipe /FIT/ knows that builds strength in particular? Yeah you see the Hypertrophy et Vascularity greentext concoctions but what about one for strength

The reason an untrained person can't lift 500kg is not because they lack the physical strength, but rather because doing so would snap their tendons and bones. There are recorded instances in people doing this in life or death scenarios.
Naturally, this means that bone and tendon strength is the ultimate way to achieve raw physical strength. But it's a slow process, since bones and tendons aren't as vascular as muscles. I've read research papers that suggest compressive force is most effective for increasing bone density, but in my experience, sheer force has progressed me further and quicker.

Supplements:
Hydrolyzed collagen. Collagen is the raw material and taking it in hydrolyzed makes absorption easier.
Vitamin D3 K2. Stimulates collagen usage.
Vitamin C. Helps digest and absorb the former two supplements.

Training:
Large muscles are still incredibly useful because they provide better blood flow and cussioning so you don't snap your shit. Core, forearms, and glutes account for an absurd amount of strength in every lift, so setting focus on them is what I do.
Obviously you should train your whole body, but set your focus heavily on core, forearms, and glutes.
It's not useful for me to provide a training regime, since you have to figure out for yourself what works best, but your exercises should be somewhere between 3x5 and 2x9. If you're not sore after an exercise, it means you did too little weight. Your goal is to burn up all your glycogen for heavy weight, rather than volume.

Don't ask me to support anything I said. There are no studies I can cite, there is nothing documented. This is simply what I have noticed in 4 years of lifting.

eat big and whole is what helped me. animal based eating has done wonders, plus i believe eating flesh primes your CNS. You must train your CNS too, with explosive movements.

I love a good DOMS as much as the next guy but is that really the case? I used to chase doms but I stopped and I still progress. I wonder if I should still chase it. otherwise I agree, bonemaxxing is important. dairymaxxing is also essential

It's almost like the guy who is spouting off a bunch of supplements to buy, using some youtuber he watches (who sells those supplements) as the sole source since he can't provide any physiological explanation or even a study to back it up, is making shit up. Like for one, collagen is literally just a source of amino acids. There's nothing magical about it but the fact he mentioned "hydrolyzed" means he's buying a supplement like a good little sheep.

Well do you have something better to say about OP's question, will ye give an answer.
>>
>>77391394
>There are recorded instances in people doing this in life or death scenarios
there arent, actually
hysterical strength is a meme. the whole "zomg she lifted the car to save the baby" never happened
also if it was true then you wouldnt even need to train your tendons or bones because already they are strong enough to lift whatever

There's a million of them. They all get super autistic with weight optimization and one rep max jargon.
Lyle McDonald's generic bulking routine (it's more of a template) is probably the best bet for doing it without getting too fat. Powerbuilding didn't exist at the time but if it did everyone would be calling it that.

Bumping because I'm interested in the topic as well. Maximum strength with minimal muscle mass is ideal for sport types where a person needs to move their own body weight.
As someone above mentioned, tendon strength is one important part and it's achieved over time with gradual load increase, but muscle strength and stamina is another matter.

Eat fatty meat. Preferably red meat.
So, beef chuck roast, ideally.
After that, pork belly, pork roast.
After that (and you probably should switch it up anyways,), whole chicken; eat the skin and the back fat.
To fill out the rest of your PROTEIN needs, eat whole milk Greek yogurt, and/or regular whole milk.
Cholesterol from animal fat is an extremely powerful anabolic but unironically. Collagen (from chicken skin, or whole sardines (which you should also be eating)) is also of drastic importance.
If you can, eat beef liver as well. I WOULD recommend lots of eggs, but good* eggs (pasture-fed, non-ZOGGED) are very expensive in comparison to everything else I listed.

When you're mentioning "red meat" btw, are you also specifically saying to eat Rare Meat as your preferred meal or am I reading it wrong?
