Muscle Mass Building Workout

If you’re interested in building mass then it’s important to incorporate multi-joint compound moves into your workout. When you lift heavy weights using multiple muscle groups, the effects reverberate to muscle groups all over your body. So doing heavy squats will not only build your legs, but the rest of your body as well.

Here’s a good full body workout, using multi-joint compound moves that will have you piling on mass in no time. Each exercise comprises of 3 sets with a 2 minute rest in between. You should attempt to do 10-12 reps of each exercise, trying to hit failure on the last rep of the final set.
