Hypertrophy Time vs. Weight
What routine would be more effective if training for hypertrophy. I'll give two examples, give me some thoughts.
Chest day.
Example #1 (90 seconds rest between each set)
4 sets per exercise
Rep Range: Set 1 10-12 reps. Set 2 8-10 reps. Set 3 8-10 reps. Set 4 6-8 reps.
Exercise 1- Flat Dumbell Bench Press 100x12, 110x10, 110x9, 120x7
Exercise 2- Incline Dumbell Bench Press 80x12, 85x10, 85x9, 90x7
Exercise 3- Incline Dumbell Flyes 45x12, 50x10, 50x9, 55x7
Example #2 (45 seconds rest between each set)
4 sets per exercise
Rep Range: Set 1 10-12 reps. Set 2 8-10 reps. Set 3 8-10 reps. Set 4 6-8 reps.
Exercise 1- Flat Dumbell Bench Press 100x12, 100x10, 100x9, 110x7
Exercise 2- Incline Dumbell Bench Press 80x12, 80x10, 80x9, 85x7
Exercise 3- Incline Dumbell Flyes 45x12, 40x10, 40x9, 40x7
Example 1 uses more rest and heavier wieghts. Example 2 uses less rest between sets and lighter weights. Is either method superior? Should they be alternated? Sorry if this was a long post but I'm debating if I should go lighter and move faster.

the first, heavier weight will usually give u greater mass.
