What type of weights should you NOT use if your goal is to build muscle mass?

Question

A. Free weights
B. Weight machines
C. High intensity ( Heavy weights.)
D. Low intensity ( light weights)

Answer 1

If your goal is to build muscle mass, you should generally avoid D. Low intensity (light weights). While lighter weights can be useful for endurance training or rehabilitation, building muscle mass typically requires the use of heavier weights that create sufficient resistance and stimulate muscle growth through high-intensity efforts. Free weights and weight machines can be beneficial when used with the appropriate intensity to promote hypertrophy (muscle size increase).
