do you guys on here find it better to do High reps with a low weight or low reps with a High weight? Also do you usually burn out on every workout that you do or not? Just curious to see how everyone else here works out.

best way to add mass?
- Thread starter spusoccer

There's no one right answer to that. IMO, low reps(4-6) high weight makes me feel better cause i can tell i'm getting stronger. but, you can't do the same workout forever, you have to change up from high intensity to high volume every now and then and find what works best for you. Training to failure is always the best way to go, you really shouldn't do it for more than a couple weeks, but it can help you get past a sticking point, as well as partial reps and negatives. but no one type of workout works forever, and different people repspond better to different things.
like Steve said, mix it up and diff things work for diff people. I actually built my chest with reverse pyramid training - starting with 1RM and working from 6 reps to 10-12. I do the same sometimes with curls. Experimenting is good.
some mass exercises are squat, dead lift, bench, and military bench, they will help put on some mass
example#1 ( standard pyramid ) 1. set....10reps/20lbsJaysonl1424 said:
2. set....8 reps/30lbs
3. set....6 reps/40lbs
example#2 is a (descending pyramid ) it's just the opposite. It consits of decreasing weight while increasing reps per set...( some people like this one for getting over plateaus )
I have a buddy that uses a 5,3,1 pyramid (standard) for his chest. A simple flat-bench exercise and thats it ( 1 simple exercise ) but he does it everyday. His only rest days are sat.and sun.....no shit......it consist of 3 sets.....#1 set/ 5reps, #2 set/ 3 reps, #3 set/1reps....increasing weight while decreasing reps per set.
You have to use the correct % of weight per set of course. and a spotter so you can use forced reps......will not work properly w/o a spotter.
By the way..He's 175 lbs.....with a 415lb. bench....(all natural too )......he swears by this method......I hate working out with him cuz I'm bigger but can't throw up near the weight... he makes me look bad..lol
Just " google it " you'll find more detailed info
Hope that helps Bro............
ya it helps alot I was just curious as I just changed last week from high weight low reps to lower weight higher reps but with a little bit of pyramiding as well but thanks for the info I just wanted to more of what your ideas were thanks
you should gop heavy for 3-4 weeks then change up to a lighter weight higher rep system for 2-3 weeks to allow your body to recuperate. keep switching back & forth if ya want to add the most mass.
you also need to eat like crazy 8 meals per day minimum to gain lots of size & strength.

Make sure you train your large muscle groups as well.
Deadlifts.....Squats........Lat-pull downs........These will really get the juices flowing
