Bench Press(flat): sets 6 reps 6 with 145 lbs Incline dumbell press 4 8 with 140 lbs Dips 4 8 Flys 4 10 with 40 lbs Barbell Curls: with 50 lbs good form Triceps Skull Crusher: 40 lbs Lateral Raise 20 lbs Cant seem to increase weight at ALL on all the exercises....? What amount of weight do you guys use for some of these exercises? Another question im well toned, little fat around waist... but i have muscle definition....there are no veins showing in my arms biceps or even forearms not even when I exercise, normally people have that vein in their biceps that shows after a while but i dont have any veins showing at all, is this normal? Thanx Merry Christmas All

Your mass building exercises are your compound movements, flat bench, and inclines. Inclines go a long ways toward that mass chest size you want. 6 sets of flat benches may be robbing you of some strength on inclines too. Overload is what makes a muscle grow. You may be robbing yourself of the ability to do this on each set on your chest. And as Carivan says, how is your diet? It needs to be sufficient to build mass. -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!
