Wondering how to organize your mass building routine so that it reaches its potential? Then you’ll want to focus on the hypertrophy phase of your workout. This period of your workout session consists of the following 3 factors: duration, volume and exercise selection.

The duration of your hypertrophy phase should be no longer than 60 minutes. This doesn’t include your warm-up sets but comes into play beginning with your first muscle building set and ends with the completion of your final muscle building set. In terms of volume, you should perform 5-7 total sets per workout for large muscle groups and 2-4 sets for small muscle groups. In terms of exercise selection you should focus on compound exercises and isolation exercises.
