    Asking if you have enough mass to cut implies that you should cut in order to reach some end goal, some final form, and then the story ends. That isn't how it works. If you want to gain muscle mass,...

    If what you're currently doing isn't working as it used to, then you need more work, so should add a set or two.

    At the end of the day, with volume over time being the same, you will likely do slightly better to train each muscle once every 4 days, rather than once every 5 days.

    I only do incline movements but saying bench press is useless, even when just talking about muscle building, is just silly. It's a compound freeweight movement which involves the upper arm travelling...

    Chest & Arms:


    The next day: Incline with 70kg for 9, (perhaps could have got 10 but it's inconsequential), then 60kg for 8-10, (can't remember), 50kg for 8 and 40kg for 8. Hard, but I love it....

    No. You're 15 years old, 158lb, 6'. Cutting, in your position, is frankly irresponsible.
