I disagree about pushing heavy weight -- yes, you can hurt tendons and ligaments if you are lifting incorrectly. But if you have a good spotter (few people know how to spot properly) and you push or pull through properly, heavy weight will actually help strenghten and stretch tendons to break through said "plateaus" (note my correct spelling of "plateau") and eventually help build mass.


Pushing 345lbs ONCE is not lifting heavy weight. It's not enough to stretch anything, nor strengthen anything. I do agree that high-weight, lower rep will build muscle faster, but anything under 6 reps is really pointless and potentially hurtful.

By the way, I'm 31, and my brother is a pro-trainer and athletics instructor. I think our credentials are pretty comparable.
