What would be the best number of reps to do when bulking?? I suppose it would be 12, but from 5-6 it would be just for strength training from what i heard. So is this true?? For my chest for example i do 3 sets of benchpress(1 out of 4 different chest exercises). At first i do 12 reps then usually go down to 9-8, and then 7-6. Is this good for bulking?

Everyone is different you need to find what works for you but you're asking us so IMO I use 6-10 reps for building mass in my upper body and higher reps for lower body 10-15 reps find what works best for you.

wow... strong bump
"on the bech press i usually start off with 205 doing it 5 times then once i ad my usual extra 5 pounds on i can barely do it twice. How can i increase my chest cardio? so i can rep heavy weight easier" -dc1992hp
come by and check out my log. I'm racing to a 275x5 bench and 185x3 strict press with comps.
