Favorite Mass Builder

[the_alcatraz]

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!

Yes, lightweights have their appeal...but I love the weights bro...I love to pump heavy weights ololo

I think 8 and 15 are the best reps to go to.
Love squats to 8 reps
But love deads to 12 or 15.

Bent over barbell rows are my favourite mass builder. Second would be the military press or seated BB presses. Next in line would be incline DB presses.

If you could only pick one exercise it would have to be the clean and press - technically two moves that require you to do:

speed deadlift, explosive shrug, (drop and catch), front squat, overhead press

hits just about every muscle group except the sternal pecs.

It's definitely a great exercise, but check out the physiques of most olympic lifters compared to bodybuilders and powerlifters and you'll have to agree there are better mass builders out there.

no

ummm...yes

I believe the mass builders are those exercises that you can lift extraordinary weights when doing them, and they incorporate a compound movement.

They are known to be squats, deads, bench.

Most bodybuilders don't even do the snatch and the other powerlifters' exercises because they don't have a powerlifting background.

I love clean and press it's so violent feeling. I have a group of fight happy friends when we go out and this workout is a good reason I don't get roughed up. Anybody who trains for fighting or wrestling should do clean and press.
Back on topic my fav mass builder military press
The best mass builder squats

My favorite is weighted dips. I get insane pumps and I'm truly sore for at least 3 days sometimes 5-6.

Best is probably deads.

Ahmmm everyone who wants to do a standing military presses starting with the weight on the ground has to do the clean at least on the first rep. The fact that most bodybuilders don't do it has more to do with their background and the reason that bodybuilders are bigger it's all because rep ranges, diet and steroids. So clean and press is great for overall strength and mass, it should be a weightlifting staple.
