Kettlebells can be used to build mass. There are many other levers which are more important which influence whether your body builds muscle or not.

Smolov for intermediates

 

Smolov is a program which you can consider to prove your manhood. It is one of these things which are stupid to do if you look at it rationally and are yet very cool once you have done them.
