High Rep Bulking Routine

January 15, 2010

Far too many are under the impression that in order to gain bulk you must eat a ton of food and go for low reps.

That is not always the case. Some individuals, and you may be one of them, can and have gained bulk on a high rep regimen.

I’ve seen, and personally know, people who’ve put on decent size with 12-15 reps on each exercise instead of the traditional 5 x 5 we’ve all come to know and love.

Whether some of them were juicing or not, I don’t know. What I’m certain of is you can get bulky on a high set protocol, eating just 3-4 meals a day. The one thing common to all bulking programs – you must lift heavy weights and progressively add more as you advance.

The diet you choose is up to you. The routine to follow is below.

High Rep Bulking Routine

Bench Press 3 x 12-15
Barbell Curls 3 x 12-15
Bent Over Rows 3 x 12-15
Overhead Press 3 x 12-15
Squats 3 x 12-15

Notes: Training three times a week should be sufficient. Get enough sleep, drink plenty of water and milk, and by including a variety of food in your diet, you should experience an increase in bodyweight. Don’t forget to add weight to the bar whenever possible.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
