adding weight while lifting

[Bobby_Stephens]

no one ever talkes about when and/or how you should add weight. Do most people add weight each set I have seen or heard people say " I lift a certain percent Say 80% of my max for a number of reps" and others say increase each set I'm sure it depends on what you want from it but as a person who is trying to gain mass without loosing definition what do you think ?

Gainnig mass without loosing definition...hhhhmmmmm... too good to be true. If you really want to gain mass you have to eat an important amout of carbs, protein and train HEAVY. You will loose definition in this proces, how much depends on you r body and your diet, but later you can modify your trainning and diet to get ripped, thats no problem. Bf goes away....

I'm having a hard time understanding your question, but I'll give it a shot.

Most people will add weight each succesive set, with the first couple sets stoping at about 4-5 reps short of failure.

And gaining mass without losing definition? Well, just how MASSIVE are you? Even as massive as Ronnie Coleman is he still has a great deal more definition than I, you, or Linchu. Definition is a matter of bodyfat and sub-q water.
