I am 5'8" at 195 with bf around 9-10%, I want to develop denser muscle. I am happy with the mass I have now but want to get the tissue dense, so I have a more defined look. My bf is low enough where I have a 6 pack, lots of vascualrity all over, but the muscle has a "swollen", softer look to it when I am not at the gym. Would slower more controlled movements do this with strong peak contractions, or is it achieved by going heavy on everything.
I agree. It comes with time. The longer you stick with a program the more density you will have. Precisely the reason you see 40-50 year old men who aren't extremely muscular but are rock solid. Look at pros too, the younger ones even when ripped to the bone tend to look smooth, the older/mature ones tend to get that grainy look that Dorian made so famous.

That is what I thought to. Before I ever started lifted I had a softer type body. But by busting ass for the past 5 years and strict dieting I have lots of muscle mass with low fat. In the gym I feel as though I look "hard", but out of the gym my muscle "deflate" substantially, when muscle is dense what I just explained doens't take place as much, the muscle has a more "consistent" look to it for a lack of better term.
What types of gear will give this, winny, fina, eq?
What type of training and diet wil give this, heavy/lighter, high carb/low carb?

Powerlifting. All powerlifters already have what bodybuilders call "muscle maturity." Try a powerlifting routine for 12 weeks and see if it helps. Here's mine:
SUN
deadlift 1x5
rack pulls 1x5
bent rows 2x5
TUES
bench 1x5
incline 1x5
standing military press 1x5
THURS
squat 1x5
zercher box squat 1x5
standing cable crunches 3x15

I think slobberknocker is right. Heavy lifting and genetics both play a role in density. My chest is rock hard and fairly strong, but my biceps are not hard or very strong. Not sure if this is because of genetics or the way I train. Didn't really answer your question but try some heavy lifting and see what happens.

Would rep range of 6-8 be considered heavy? That is normally what I do, on basic power movements like bench, bar rows, curls, close grip etc.
Drink a lot of water and stay lean.
Otherwise, yeah, genetics is pretty much the deciding factor...

considered heavy
basically the 5-6 rep range is considered heavy for all intensive purposes...8 reps is considered a heavy rep range for bodybuilding....those are strictly guide-lines to go by...there is nothing as far as numbers are concerned, that are magic rep ranges...wish there were.....High-Jacked said:

High-Jacked, I agree with all the training advice all the other bros. have given, but if your looking for dense muscles, you need to use Halotestin and their training advice. It is an excellent drug for muscle density. But I must tell you, It is a very toxic drug and is very tough on your liver, so I suggest you do some research on it before trying. I have a cycle of 2.5mg halo's I haven't used yet, I will for my cutting cycle in the spring.
