how to gain mass size fast?
ad
guys i have a quick question. i work out 4 days per week, and 2 days off. i do, arms monday, etc, etc. i always work out with heavy weights. 4 sets X 8-10 reps. and this guy at the gym he told me to work out with heavy weights and do as much reps as i can and then drop the weight to 75% or 50% to gain mass? is that true?

Also if you can experiment with 2on 1off training or different variations and times to see how you respond.
Experiment with carbs to see how much your body needs to recover, keep adding more till you find out where it starts to give you a little extra layer, then back it down. Cycle your carbs from there to stay in the lean mass building. You have to find those threshholds for diet. Experiment with replacing some of your carbs with good fats. I do negative training sometimes cause your muscle is way stronger in the negative, thus if you don't specifically train the negative, you won't train it to its full potential. Fst7 works well, that stretches the facia around the muscles to make the muscle bellies larger. In a sense what your doing by drop setting is stretching the facia as well. There's really too many ways to train to list them all. I do reccomend experimenting with the carbs and negative training though.
Sargent_SwoleProper nutrion is the key to any sucess in or out of the gym!
AnonIce cream and a couch works and tastes great too.
You forgot handfuls of abombs
Synthol is what you need! JK
Reverse pyramids, pyramids, drop sets, rest pause, Xreps, 4X, 5X5, Negative accentuation, Statics, forced reps...... the list goes on and on. All are different methods to stress the muscles. Some are used to produce more time under stress, some to increase sarcoplasm, some to limit joint stress from max weight exercises, some to get more work out of the same muscle in a shorter time, some to place the same load on the muscle for a longer time..... You can find much more at x-rep.com, they try to sell you all their ebooks but you can just do some reading on the site and search the web and people trade their books. Anyway, try to increase the stress you place on the muscle each time, don't let your routine get stale (plateau, doing the same weight for the same reps for 4 weeks or even 2 weeks), shake it up, mix it up. Eat (can't get bigger if you don't get enough fuel) and sleep, you build at rest. Don't forget once in a while you need to lighten the load and give your nervous system a rest. OK enough rambling. I have a question if you work 4 days and your off 2 what do you do with the other day? ;-P
thanx bro.... i meant 5 days work out, and 2 off. haha sorry. :S
I added some pretty good size in 6 weeks doing the 5x5 training routine... google it if youre not familiar with it. but like ThaBeast said everyone is different...
everyones body is different. u gotta figure out what works best for YOU. your gonna hear plenty of bs in the gym. train right, eat properly and clean, get enough rest, and you should be fine.
You dont wanna gain mass fast because if you do it will not be quality good diet will give you quality mass you can pump iron all day and not gain a thing if your diets not in check
and if u have any other adivce to gain mass size i will appreciate it.
TxBigBoyHonestly bro you could ask 20 different people and get 20 different workout plans to gain mass. When it comes down to it if your lifting hard and heavy without over training, then eating properly your gonna gain mass. I hear people at my gym all the time talking about their "new" plan to get big and how these drop sets are gonna make them blow up. It really just comes down to listening to your body and lifting appropriately. No one plan is going to work for everyone.
thats true bro..
AnonTX is right, listen to your body and do what it gives.. I will tell you that your body adapts to the diet and training you do and if you don't change things up then you will end up plateauing .. always should not be a word in your vocabulary when it comes to training..
TxBigBoyTotally agree grrl, to be honest I change my workout probably once a month. Not big changes but little things like rotating the order in which I do my exercises and even adding in a new exercise here and there. Simple changes can sometimes yield great results.
Yup, I just started using the hammer curl bar for skullies and the hand variation changed the muscle to the inner tricept. Gotta try new shit for sure.
