I am looking to transition my work out goal from bulking up towards actual strength, endurance, and muscle density. I have spend the last 15 months doing 3-5 sets of 8-12 rep exercises doing heavy weights. I mostly have been doing 3/4sets with 10 reps because its a nice round number. I do the standard gym exercises with free weights. My work out goals have changed because the gains i receive from my current routine have stopped. I feel that my body is conditioned now but I want to get into building a physique I can use, instead of being bulky but not actually strong. I've read articles about how gymnist are pound for pound the strongest athletes. From what I've read I want to build towards a gymnist/boxer-fighter/lean high muscle density type body.
I'm thinking that instead of being a gym rat, I should become active in a few sports to overall use my entire body as a whole unit instead of doing isolation conditioning. Im thinking of doing alot of cross fit/circuit training/weight lighting occasionaly to push plateaus/swimming-running/mountain athlete.com/body weight exercises to accomplish this.
Reason behind this is, im serving in the military and I'm trying to condition for ranger school, and they do alot of ruck marching which is hiking with 80-120 lb back packs. I feel i need to isolate on core and leg strength and endurance.
Im asking for someone with a deep back ground in human physiology and sports medicine to guide me in the right track towards reaching my goal of being pound for pound effiecient, stronger, and endurant and acheiving whole body unity, and how to pack on lean muscle.
