Muscle gainthru Hypertrophy workouts???

theniceone Posts: 2 Joined: 2004/02/23	2004/02/23, 04:49 PM I was planning on following a hypertrophy workout plan for about 5 weeks that lighted the weight (w/ 8-12reps a set) i was using and put more of an emphasis on the speed of my contrations. For example for bench press...i would take 4 seconds to lower the weight then 1 second to push it up...however when i read my personalized training program it had my doing reps of 20, 8, 6,and 4 with heavier weights...what the best way to gain muscle mass??????

Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
