This will provide a new stimulus and differnt angle for the muscles, while getting you stronger yet. For instance if you were doing flat bb bench, switch this one up to dumbbells. Keep the rep range from the 5-8 range, heavy weights, best for mass. Of course quality diet will elicit the most from your lifting. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
