If your goal is to build muscle mass, you should generally avoid low intensity (lighter weights). While lighter weights can be effective for endurance training or for beginners, building muscle mass typically requires progressively increasing the load, which is better achieved with high intensity (heavy weights) or a combination of free weights and weight machines that can challenge your muscles more effectively.
