Building Mass

Does this really work and will it work for all the muscles? Thanks.

You need to find what works best for your individual body. What works for me in the gym my not benefit you at all. Training is a lot of trial and error. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

And as was stated before eating is the only real way to put on mass, Also it should be healthy foods not junk food. Your body must have caloric excess to have anything left over to build mass with. It can happen without but the gains are minimal.
