Weightlifting & Exercise - Building upper body definition and size.


Expert: Brian - 7/11/2006

Question
What is the best and most effective way to gain size and deffinition?  I am on deployment and want to build my upper body, maybe I can get on a certain excersize program and maybe take supliments.  Whats the most effective?

Answer
The most effective way to build muscle mass is to do high intensity weight training. By "high intensity" I mean heavy weights done for many (4-6) sets for a relatively low (about 8) number of reps.

I wouldn't waste your money on supplements. Everything you need to build muscle is found in real foods like milk, tuna, beef, eggs.
