alright well i am new to strength training, ive done fat loss and muscle building but never strength training. im doing it now cause im doing wrestling and i want to get stronger but dont wanna move into the next weight class. i would like to gain muscle though if it replaces fat, that would be perfect. i have been doing bent over rows for the last month along with deadlifts so deadlifts could only be better i guess. o and last thing, u said eventually i should add days? so ur saying 3 days a week isnt or wont be enough?
