I have seen quite a few guys say this. Now bare in mind these are Pro's. And they are going to get bigger using 5 lbs. But I really can't see how you can make a muscle grow in size if you use lighter weights. I have always thought you have to continually try and increase the amount of weight you use on every single exercise to grow. If not then what is the point in doing the same weight over and over.
Now yes I understand the whole idea of supersets, etc. And working faster to increase the intensity. But basically those are things designed to burn fat are they not. And to just give the muscle a shock every once in a while. But how can you really get a muscle to increase in size if you are not continually adding weight to the bar. Or at least attempting to add weight. I am getting older and the heavy weights all the time on my body is getting tougher. Hence my question. TIA.
