She's got a point. If you're trying to put mass on especially, I'd be putting some weight on the bar for your compound moves (squats, deads, bench especially) to where you're in the lower rep ranges (anywhere from 5-7 is my personal preference but Jaime is right also). Iso moves if you even do any, like curls, etc., think in sets of 10, maybe 12. Those high reps are doing nothing for you in my opinion as well.

Think in terms of more recruitment of fibers. You've got the key exercises in there - squats, benching, deads - you just need to be doing them in a more advantageous way to put mass on.
