Without straining myself by lifting too much weight, is there any way to safely do more? Or will my UB eventually catch up with my LB development? I'm doing a very standard gym workout with both machines and free weights.


Are you working your upper body muscles to failure every workout? Or are you able to complete the reps with little trouble? The only way to get that upper body to catchup is make you are working the muscles to failure with the MOST weight you can safely lift. Just remember do not sacrifice form for added weight, that is where injuries start to happen. Also make sure you are getting adequate daily protein, at least 1 gram per lb of LBM, to aid in building of the muscles.
