>>76302696I have lucky leg genetics, big enough calves so I don't look like a twig, and chunky thighs and ass. Calves have some definition, but being big is enough for me.
Basically I'm toning down. Most of my strength gains came from becoming a bloatgod. Went from about 78kg to 115kg within the span of 2 years, and am basically trying to look somewhat normal instead of a fat piece of shit. Bloatgod does not look good, but the strength gains were nuts. Went from a 60kg bench to over 100kg in the first year with this though, but haven't seen abs ever. I'm still trying to lose the fucking stretch marks (not worth, they were actually painful to touch at one point. Still have scars from it).
Basically what I found was I plateaued whenever I stuck to the same weight, doing the usual 3 set 10 rep split, so I increased to 4 and start experimenting with the reps. Basically every few weeks now, I can add maybe 2kg or so to see how it feels, and go from there at the lowest weight. Then I'll add it to the medium weight, and then progress up to the heavy weight over another few weeks. I dunno, but my body just adjusts to it.
The big key I found is just consistency. If you just force yourself into doing shitty weights, you'll push it up. I don't use a spotter because I want to feel like the weight can kill me if I'm not strong enough, which is why my strength gains are very gradual now
