Generally, mass is built in the 8-12 rep range. 3-5 is generally used to build strength.
No brain, no gain.

06-27-2010, 11:47 AM #7You should get a gym membership and start squating, deadlifting, military pressing, and bench pressing. Just benching isn't going to cut it.Originally Posted by gurman13o

they release testosterone and use the whole body. When you do these, your other lifts will increase with it. Not as much as that certain lift is, but the increased testosterone will help. and you will build MASS. squats and deads are the best!Originally Posted by ew1
