Question about Mass Building program

Firehawk734 Posts: 295 Joined: 2002/07/31	2002/12/02, 12:59 PM I hvae been hearing that we should do low reps with alot of weight. Why on the mass building program does it say to be doing 16, 12, 10 reps on chest and whatnot??? Or am i lookin at the wrong one?? I followed the steps properly to get that mass building program into my folder. I want to try it out, see if it effects me more than my own routine.

If you have been lifting for a while try to switch from a beginner status to intermeadiate or advanced....hope this helps -------------- IF THE SWEAT AIN'T IN YOUR EYES, AND IT AIN'T STINGING, THEN YOU AIN'T LIFTIN!

I selected muscle mass (5 days), and it gave me sets sets along the lines of 12 - 6 - 5- 4 Partway through I decided to restart with a 4 day program, and now it's seying 16-12-10-8. Odd, eh? --S
