Lift for strength, not for muscle bulk. Bigger weights (~80% of your 1-rep maximum), fewer reps (10 is good), more rest between sets.
Weird findings - i've been lifting more recently - and while i feel beefier, more muscular i was quite surprised that my weight is still the same.
Exchanging body fat for lean muscle. My weight stays the same as the season progresses, but my waistline shrinks.
