Favorite Mass Builder

I should've added a poll for this

I don't even care if they build mass, finishing a set of heavy deadlifts is the most rewarding feeling in the world.

I used to feel this way from heavy squatting!

Good question, what a bullshit thread so far

deads are awesome but:

mass builders are:
squat
bench
dead
military
row
chin
dip
powerclean
snatch
front squat
overhead squat

if you have a big favourite, the you're imbalanced.

squats......... parallel in the 20 rep range with short rest periods. separates the guys who "work out" from the guys who TRAIN.

Squats are awesome IMO.

After I hurt my knees in wrestling in university, sometimes I have to take a few months off from squatting because my knees act up....the rest of the time, I go pretty fuggin heavy

i don't go heavy but i do them with STRICT form and i take about 4 seconds to
complete each rep.

i am primarily a slow twitch composition and i never grew with heavy weight
and lower reps. i got strong as hell and somewhat bulky.

be careful and don't let your knees travel past your feet. pre exhaust with leg
press or even extensions ( but don't lock out ) there is a 62 year old trainer
( 100% natural! ) with a true 500 lb squat at a gym i train at in birmingham!

I'm going to have to agree. Although I DO grow with HEAVY squats, I had a hernia squatting 400+pounds for reps. SO now when I squat and deadlift I do between 225 and 315 for sets 50-10 sets of 10. I always do leg press first before squat.
