If your goal is to build muscle mass, you generally should avoid low intensity (lighter weights). While lighter weights can be useful for endurance training or rehabilitation, higher intensity (heavier weights) is typically required to stimulate muscle growth effectively. Therefore, focusing on free weights or weight machines with higher intensity is more beneficial for building muscle mass.
