Mass Building Advanced Split

Building Mass is a long process, but here we can get off on the right foot, build that mass, and have a fun time doing it. What is Key to building mass is using enough weight so that your reps are limited to 5-6… If you can do 8-10 reps, the weight is too light. Pick enough weight to do 5-6 times and the muscle will start piling on. Rest 90 seconds in between sets. During our mass building phase, you will want to use heavier weight. 5 to 6 reps should be your max so choose weight that will allow you to get at least 5 reps on but no more than 6
