That's gaining mass. However, I am not training to gain mass, I'm training for strength and, most of all, endurance. That's why I use larger sets with smaller weights, which naturally take more time to complete. Ofcourse I combine it with lots of running, biking, swimming and shadowboxing, to get a good overall workout.
