Gaining Mass with P90X

I sent this article out to a friend and though I should share it.

I also like to cycle between strength and hypertrophy(getting the muscles BIG!). I do 12 rep maxes one week then the next week 8 rep maxs. The 12 rep max helps build endurance/strength and the 8 rep maxes help with hypertrophy/strength. The 12 reps helps to set up the 8 reps the following week. You will vary the weight. So on the 12 reps you go lower weight and the 8 reps you go higher. So if your doing 10lbs on the 12reps, try 15lbs on the 8 reps. I found that this help keep my gains much smoother and lessoned possible injury by laying a foundation for strength and endurance while still going for hypertrophy.

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
