Notes, news, and information on human and general molecular biology. My particular interests lie in immunology, cancer biology, pathology, and human evolution. I have a weakness for cute animal pictures.
Is anyone here savvy with health and fitness? I’m a 190cm guy with a fluctuating weight of 83 to 85kg. I have been strength training since November at the gym, following a routine designed to increase muscle mass in the arms, shoulders, chest and back (I’m also a rower). I also run for two kilometres before I start just to get the blood pumping.
The problem is I am definitely getting stronger, because I can lift heavier weights that I could not do previously, but it doesn’t really show on me. I still look pretty slim. I have a little mass on my arms and my back is fairly toned but nothing immediately noticable. I’m not saying I want to be huge, but I want it to be somewhat noticable. I don’t really understand where I am going wrong. Anyone have any ideas? :\
