What exercise routine is the best to build muscle for bodybuilding?
Jose questioned:
What is better to build muscle for bodybuilding, to start with the maximum weight that you can do and take off small by small? Or to start low and increase in weight? Also how many reps and sets should I do? Should I keep the reps and sets high or low?

Hey Jose try lift as much as you can doing 3 sets of 8-10 reps. Generally when i workout I do sets of 10,8,8. If the weight is too light you’re not really working the muscle, and therefore not promoting muscle growth.
