2. Heavy weight for bigger muscle
Like mentioned before, there are bodybuilders of many different schools of thought. The first thought process is that nothing else matters except getting a pump and hypertrophy, while the other is that functional strength should also take priority. Sure you don’t need to improve your strength to be a shredded specimen, but if you’re looking to put on size – volume lifting will only carry you so far. With lifting heavier for strength gain, bodybuilders soon discovered that volume coupled with heavy weight meant greater increases in strength and muscle growth. 20 reps of moderate weight is fine, but you’re likely to get better results by lifting heavier weight with slightly less reps for more muscle gain.
