The Best Kept Secret to Gaining More Muscle Mass

Now, I know this sounds totally backward, but bear with me here.  If you want to gain mass and strength, you've got to lift light.  You see, when you lift heavy you are giving your body a very intense workout in terms of the load you are putting on your muscle.  However, you cannot train like that every day because your muscles also need time in between to repair and grow.

 

Most of us know this sort of light training by the name of "resistance training".  Hang around a gym long enough and you'll hear people talking about how resistance training is the way to go if you want to build muscle.  That's because resistance training puts a different type of "load" on your muscle.  Not in terms of weight, but in terms of resistance and volume.
