I take exception to the fact that I thought you were asking for real advice (shame on me) and trying to give you some info, which you followed up with by basically mocking me.
And people wonder why I'm a jerk  when I do try to give honest, helpful advice, I get mocked for it. |
No, your advice is correct. I was asking for real advice, but you never asked me my level of training, you assumed I was a beginner. The point there is that whether you are just starting out, or an advanced lifter, the same rules apply. To get bigger and stronger, you are going to have to consume a lot of calories and lift heavy weights. The word "heavy" is relative to your size and strength. To gain lean muscle, takes more time and more control of your diet and routine. Doesn't matter if you are 125 lbs or 275 lbs.
Also, like you said, we are all lifting with different goals, if yours is fighting, you need speed and cardio more than power/strength. So you train that way. There was no disrespect implied, and if it was taken that way, I do apologize.
