For building muscle / working out - which is better?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Slow reps with a heavy weight build bulk. Quick reps with a light weight build lean muscle.

There are different opinions on which actually works better. Some people believe that high reps will cause "hypertrophy" or bulking while making the muscle soft. Some people believe that low reps are the key to building bulk (even lower, more like 3 to 5 reps). You will find advocates of either system that have good results to show.

I'd recommend mixing it up. Perhaps do compound movements with high weights and low reps, and then some targeted work with low weight and high reps. The key is to work out hard, and get good nutrition.

Soreness doesn't really indicate that you are building bulk.

Do start with large muscles workout with a mix of cardio,and eat a good protein diet.Do it six months and than start focus muscles exercises.

Find weights that causes muscle fatigue(can't lift) around 8-12 reps. Rest 60secs between sets.

You should start every workout with warm up exercises like stretching and aerobics. Then for the weight lifting begin with lighter weights and work up to what you feel is giving you a good challenge. When you are ready to finish cool down by gradually doing sets with lighter weights. I was trained by a certified physical therapist. For bulk you are better off going for the heavier weights. After 3 days of working one particular area you should take a day or two off to let your muscles recover. If you don't you will risk injuring yourself and those types of injuries can take a long time to heal. Or you could work the upper body two or three days and then work the lower body for the same amount of time if you want to workout every day. But always give your body at least a day to recover after working out two or three. I always did 3 on and two off. Have a variety of different things to do and that way it wont get to feel like its a chore. For instance, Bicycle on one day, aerobics another. That way it doesn't get old and you are developing stamina as well as power.

Both of them have their benefits. option A will get you better muscle definition but B will make you stronger. If you want the numbers up, go with be, if you wanna get really toned than go for A but you will still need a little bit of B.
First, find your max for each of the following lifts, Clean, flat bench, incline bench, Front Squat, Back Squat. Do this by setting a weight for each of them and doing it as many times as possible. Most gyms will have a chart to help you find your max for this lift, and if they don't look online. Add up the total for all of them and this is your total. every few weeks of doing the following work out, Test yourself again and add on the total of new max's to your number. My football team weight trains with UConn and this is just an example of one of our workouts, use it as a guideline and read what comes after
week 1, day 1
Front Squat
4 sets of 8 on 65% of max
Clean
4 sets of 8 on 65%
Auxiliary/ Extra lifts
Overhead Tricep Extensions 4/10
Dumb bell split squats 3/10
High Pulls 4/6
Ab workout (done with team, find one you like and do it every other day)

This should take about an hour, and each week increase the main lifts by 10% of your max, and next time you test yourself, you should be able to do your old max. This is also pretty serious for a one man workout and it is VERY difficult if you push yourself but you will see results. My total is 1075 right now and im 15 years old. for all of the lifts that i listed before you NEED as spotter or you will get injured at some point. With the auxiliary lifts, find more to do that focus a single muscle group and rotate them each day of the week. If you want, keep track of these weights but dont put them on your total.
i forgot to add that this is a Strength training course that we do so increase the reps by 5 on the auxiliary lifts and you'll get more definition
