SETS

STRIATEDMAN Posts: 4 Joined: 2006/11/21	2006/11/21, 11:07 AM Can I increase muscle mass by increasing the number of sets but without increasing the weight and reps.

By simply adding sets with the same weight, the answer to your question is you are gaining muscle endurance. You will not grow from it. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
