    Can volume replace heavier lifts to grow muscle?

    Posted: 11 Oct 2020 09:09 AM PDT

    Pretty much how the title reads. I have been lifting on and off for the better part of 9 years, but am in new territory now. I am used to the notion of adding more weight to build more muscle and get stronger (obviously). But now, I have very little in the form of variable weights. I just got a set bands and have 40's, 55's, and 65's for dumbbells but want to start bulking up (ish) over the winter. So needless to say, there is no way to add 5 pounds to each lift every week in order to get stronger because gyms are closed or have to wear a mask and I would rather not wear one but don't want to ignore the rules and safety of others either. SO, can I do more volume each week in order to get stronger or is adding more weight really the only way to add muscle mass? Any other advice?
