Muscle Building Questions - Repetition Range For Building Muscle Mass

Question:
I heard from another bodybuilder that 12 reps would be good to do for building muscle. Is this right?

Answer:
The lower the reps, the more weight you can use which is one of the key factors in building muscle. You want to focus on overloading your muscles and breaking down the tissues. Reps of 6-8 with heavier weight will be much better for gaining mass versus 12 reps with lighter weight.
