Weight gain in GPP

[hemann]

@star61

Squats are not responsible for gaining mass, diet is. If you don’t consume more calories than you burn, you don’t gain weight. I would, as you suggested, drop reps to 3-4 and do a little max strength work along with some explosive RFD work (jump squats). I would do no further hypertrophy work, but work hard to maintain the strength and improve RFD.

Sure. But the weight/mass gained in the legs is definitely related to “squats”. I agree with the max reps suggestion. – But just for clarification, you are suggesting max effort reps(3-4)- can i ask why?

presumed answer: because reps in the 5-12 range are for hypertrophy ie: weight/mass gain.
