how to build real muscle mass

[Tuzleroi]

so my current workout routine is 15 sets and I do high rep volume like 15-20 reps at a time per set.
This gives me solid volume and usually my workouts take about 45 to 50 minutes
I’ve been building some good lean muscle mass but I don’t feel like I have the size where you can tell I workout when I’m in a shirt
any advice on what I should change when I train? Maybe add more low rep exercises?

you gotta do more volume to build mass yes

 

[stevesmi]

I would stick to compound lifts for your first few years that's the bread and butter

Or less sets obvs

 

[Arabian]

Less sets would be worth taking a shot at just try something else

 

[BookerTNY]

it's always a good idea to mix things up

 

[sambee38]

I actually disagree a bit I don't think you should mix anything I think you should stick to a specific workout for at least six months

 

[Austin316]

if you're still figuring out what works for you then you have to try different things

 

[Quadsweep]

focus more on technique over how many you do

 

[BodyMonster34]

bro just go in there and lift weights and stop overthinking things and being a bitch

 

[JasonPriest]

highly recommend that you stick with lower weights I've been doing that my whole life and it's kept me injury-free

 

[Zyglamail]

I don't think that you build more Mass from overtraining either

 

[Shrine]

be consistent in the gym that's going to be the key

 

[caligirl85]

try and avoid overtraining that can hold you back

 

[zedhed]

get your split routines down correctly I would stick to three or four days splits

 

[25homes]

you gotta do more volume to build mass yes

Agreed

 

[MasonicBodybuilder]

I would definitely switch it up and be more in the 8-12 rep range. But likely, the biggest change will happen if you analyze your diet.

 

[ballin2504]

I’d drop the rep range

 

[Tiger Salman Khan]

You need to experiment and find out what works best for you.........

 

[RoySimpson]

Drop the sets!
