Default Best way to muscle mass

You have to pick two:

1. Frequency per week.
2. Rep ranges.
3. Volume.
*Diet isn't a choice because that's obvious.

I'm definately siding with twice a week for frequency. I find for me that hitting my muscles twice per week with low volume and 4-7 reps kicks ass. If I go over 8 reps my mass decreases. The way I'm thinking, once a week equals 52 growth cycles per year for every muscle. Twice a week equals 104 growth cycles. I lift heavy as shit so three times a week is out of the question.

By low volume I mean instead of doing 4 sets bench, 4 incline, 4 sets dips for chest (for example) I'm breaking that up to 2x2x2 twice a week. It ends up equaling the same total volume. ;)
