Well in the past two- almost 3 weeks now i have changed up my routine to basically all DB’s and some machine esp with chest and i have seen better results then using the BB for chest and arms. Regardless i had to move down weight with the DB’s but i have seen better improvement as well as structure form it instead of just mass. So it looks like i am hitting up 3 sets of 10-12 for the time being till i get more cut and then try to put on more weight. As of right now i am gaining mass by 10-12’s as well as definition. Weight might not be as much as BB’S or machines but it sure does a better job for hitting my muscles!

Switching to DB’s every once and a while is good to do. I am actually doing it now as well for Bench press. As for the rep range, high reps do not mean you will be more cut. If you want a cut look it is pretty much 100% diet and losing body fat. Working in the 10-12 rep range is good for adding size…you may want to read up on hypertrophy weight training…this is a big component of it.

As for going lighter…it really doesn’t matter…you are using more stabilizer muscles when you are using DB’s. At first they are a little harder than they should, but when you get used to the motion and your stabilizer muscles strengthen you will get better.
