Lol @ NS creeping up on antrx forums.
Just buy the Neggers Encyclopedia of bodybuilding... it has it all.
Dont go for numbers guys... its simple.
Wanna build mass? The goto failure.
Have an AIM, but if u reach the number, keep going until u fail (as in, cant push any more at all!)
So for bench, it should look like this
Set 1: 15 (lightweight, warmup... not to failure)
Set 2: Upto 12
Set 3: Upto 10
Set 4: Upto 8
Power Set (if you wana get massive) : 4-6
Now, each set you add weight to aim for failure on the last rep.
So say if you do 40kg bench to 12, but u can do 12 easily, keep going until u fail (be it 14 or 20). Next session, up the weight until you fail on or just before 12.
For legs remove 2 reps for each set, but add significant amount of weight.
Thats the principle all bodybuilders use to build mass... to failure. Thats what builds muscles, not numbers...
