[QUOTE="jaymieleigh1412, post: 764208, member: 159638"] I've not read through all the comments, so sorry if I'm repeating, but type of training and reps will have a big impact on the results you see. As a general rule you want to be doing 8-12 reps for hypertrophy (muscle growth). 1-6 reps will build strength, but if you're after muscle growth you need to be in the 8-12 rep range. Any more than this and you're going into endurance. Make sure you lift heavy too.. You should be going to failure in your last set... If you are reaching the rep range easily then you need to add some weight. Hope this helps.. Keep up the training :) [/QUOTE]
