Mass gain for dummies
This is the age old tale that the more weight you push the bigger you become. Sorry but if that was true I'd tie straps to every part of my body and lift. The whole point is to change up your routine and TEAR your muscle. I've had far greater results with sticking 200 pounds on bench with smooth steady reps then stacking 250 and repping it 2 times. Peeps it's not about how much you can lift (unless you're a power honkey) which is cool. If you're a bodybuilder rip that muscle. Form needs to be perfect, repition count, how many you do and how long it takes to do each rep. Here's a little interesting read on the 2 differences. No crap intended I love you all, just a good read. Also give me some of your workout tips. Whar works for you ya know? I do incorporate some power lifting techniques to get the blood flowing, muscle stretching, puffy look.

rep range 8-15 best imo unless you are a powerlifter
You may wanna ask Ronnie Coleman what he thinks about this generalization. He is obviously a bodybuilder who I've seen squat 800lbs for reps, you don't get that kind of muscle size with light weights and high reps, or lite weights and statics, or negatives. It takes poundage pure and simple. BTW power lifters also do many other exercises to work their ancilliary muscles in order to increase their core lifts.
56tooReally good point neo. Its really hard for me to feel soreness in my biceps from working them. I had been working them heavy with 6-8 rep range. I changed it up and went much lighter using very strict slow reps and lo and behold the suckers woke up sore!So I agree changing it up with both weight and reps works
