SO...SO...SO.. FUKKING WRONG!! PLEASE READ THE GUIDE TO BULKING UP FOR AN EXPLANATION.
Matt:
You are on the right track.. 4-8 reps is a good range for mass...
Now... think of it this way.. you are getting feedback from your body...
1. Obviously the rep range is working cause you are getting stronger - BUT
2. You are not gaining much weight...
3. Your options are to up your caloric intake (see my BULKING GUIDE for an idea of how much you should be eating given your weight, and if you have been following that - then your body is telling you that you need to feed it even more for it to grow !! )
So.. use this feedback to tweak the basic principles of adding mass to your particular metabolism.
Good work on the strength gains - now zero in on your diet, so your muscles start to grow with your strength as well.
peace,
