25 Ways to Get Stronger NOW!

25 Ways to Get Stronger NOW!   Putting on muscle isn't just about piling on more and more weight. Use these tips to work out smarter—not harder—for big results you can really see.   Stay committed to the gym and constantly fine-tune your workouts, and you'll be significantly stronger in a few weeks. But damn it, sometimes that's just not soon enough — like when you're meeting your buddies at the gym in an hour, and you want to make sure you smoke them on the bench press.

That way, you'll have energy for those sets — the most crucial ones for strength gains.
