SQUATS!
benchpress , deadlifts , sqauts , military press
What works great for me is heavy bench press, military shoulder press, deadlifts, squats and barbell rows. Heavy, heavy weights are the key to muscle mass....as well as a sound diet!
Bench press, front squats and dips all are best mass building exercises. Every bodybuilder should keep these mass building exercises in mind and try these for mass building.

silver389When I was all about bulking ofcourse lifts such as deads heavy bench and squats were essential...more so eating a shit ton afterwards was the deciding factor. Till I was uncomfortable type of full...if you want mass its true the most important thing is food...
thunderbeastdips, pullups, bench press, front squats, deadlifts.. bro do you even lift?
ha ha lol yes brov been training for a while but have seemed to hit a wall i do 5 days a week different part every day but am wanting to mix it up with some great mass building exercises,the question was posted so that i could find out little known mass building exercises or ones that have worked well for others
You might wanna just switch up your routine for a couple of weeks if you hit a wall. Go with high reps (up to 30) and low rest.
Tom Platz used to do crazy shit like this. 405 lb squats for 30 reps. That's just insane.
I once read an article that if you did nothing but squat for an entire year your arms would still grow 2 inches that how much an effect squats has on the entire body
going to start doing a regular squat routine hate doing legs as had a bad accident which resulted in surgery on my knee so i am really concious about doing legs.
deadlifts, squats, rows
I really enjoy lat pulls too
Mate basic compound movements are the key. Consistancy in the gym and a great meal plan are needed for the exercises to be able to build the muscle. I have read the responses and one person touched on the right method in regards to continually changing your training. Number of reps really doesn't mean shit. If you are training with intensity and consistency then things should happen. I am continually changing between drop sets and rest pause to keep intencity high and every now and then I will also introduce negatives. The other factor is rep speed as well needs to be changed as it's realy all about time under tension.
thanks pal am taking it on board going to mix my normal training and throw compounds into the mix as i have been doing a set routine for a while now so gonna change.
the best ones are the ones you can do safely with good form and add weight to consistently.
BirmonSquats- followed closely by deadlifts. Squat your asses off and then squat some more.
To the rep question, you need to constantly be changing things up to build muscle. You can't just do low reps year round or high reps and expect optimal growth. You want to shock your muscles into growing. Change things up when your muscles get used to your routine. You could go 5x5 for 3 or 4 weeks then go to 4x12,10,8,8. Or you coukd do 6x3's. Do 21's, do half rep/full reps. Do burnouts. Go to 3 day split or 2 day split.
But don't pick light or heavy or low or high reps and just stick with that. Your workout must constantly be evolving.
Thanks mate thats exactly the kind of info i was looking for cheers
I got a question related to this. When on cycle is it best to do high reps or low reps for building mass? Iv heard conflicting answers on this, could anybody clear my head?
thunderbeast6-10 reps are best for building muscle.
So your saying its the same on cycle as it is natural
thunderbeasti wouldn't know that i'm a newbie with the juice. I'm doing my first cycle in about a month, but that's the impression i'm under, so yeah i don't see why juice would change that, you''ll probably be able to put up more weight and will have to add more weight to get peaks lifting.
Well when your on juice your tendons dont grow as fast as your muscles so to prevent tendon injury i was going to throw in some high rep workouts to help them play catch up and i also heard from a few places high reps on juice is good for muscle mass, kinda need some eroid gurus in this topic to sort facts from myths
thunderbeasttry 2 weeks of 10reps x3sets and switch it another 2 weeks of 5 reps by 5 sets.. personally i've seen some nice gains.
Well I would say your most common compound movements. Bench Press, Deadlifts and squats.
^^
Couldn't have said it better myself. Maybe throw in some pull ups/chin ups
