My training is always hard and intense. After each training session I want to leave the gym feeling like I've accomplished something. My lifts are heavy with normal rep ranges of 4-10. There are times when I'll throw in a few more reps, and times when I'll grab the heaviest weights for 1-2 reps just to feel the weight. I do straight sets, super sets, tri sets, drop sets, pyramids, reverse pyramids, waveloading, etc...I do slow negatives, static holds, 21's, forced reps, failure, etc...
I train 4-5 x a week and my workouts along with exercises change weekly. The idea is to constantly keep the muscle guessing and keep workouts fresh. I like to train "outside the box" because this is how I've made my best gains.
It takes years of hard work for people to add lean, quality mass. My best advice is to be consistent with your training, eat healthy and have patience. This is a lifestyle, it's a journey...it's not a race.
