Question concerning # of reps

Is this true? I have been working out for about 3 months now and I usually do the pyramid style of working out. 3 sets. 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps. I use heavy weights but not too heavy where I lose form and control. Is this a good way to bulk up?

Muscle growth has not only something to do with the number of repetitions but also the fact of keep stimulating and chocking the fibres. To do that you need to vary your work out (every 6-12 weeks, depending on the person). Why not sign up for the 12 weeks muscle mass routine? -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
