Mix it up !! Mix it up !!
Save Tip

Heavy weights and low reps are good for mass but its important to mix it up with low weights and high reps. I'm talking about high reps 3-4 sets of close to 100 reps. Good for tonings and strength. Change your routine often at least every other month. Try real slow and real fast. Slow 4-5 seconds down and 4-5 seconds up. Fast but not so fast where you hurt yourself. Enjoy !!

OldeButGoode Well said. Plus, high-intensity is the key. Working out to exhaustion and not over resting between sets (1-2 minutes best.) Thanks !!

littleerik13 For mass gains (hypertrophy) one should use 3-6 sets with 8-12 reps using 60-85% of their 1RM, while heavier weights and lower reps will provide strength and power development which will in turn help produce mass gains. Changing your workout every 4-8 weeks is sufficient enough to keep the neuro-muscular system adapting.
