Please post , why you voted or any methods you no of getting stronger
 
I do 2-3 x 4-6 not sure where I'd put my vote.

I don't think there is really a best range as things will only work for so long before you need to switch it up.
 
Stupid question. Each has it's own training effect. Plus your triples option is only a single set as compared to multiple sets of other options.

There is no ideal rep range for strength, you will need every rep range at different stages of training and training age. Consigning yourself to one rep range will only lead to failure. Even the Bulgarian's knew this
 
A combination, but for "pure strength" I have found nx3 to be one of the best so far. For example, 5x3, 8x3 or 10x3.

What's your point here princess?
 
That you should have no opinion on strength training at all, due to being weaker than my 18 year old sister who weighs 20kg less than you

Don't be a kunce now 0ni
I recall you having an opinion about everything without knowing what's what.
 
Lol, you shouldn't have an opinion on a lot of things mate, yet here you are shooting your mouth just like always. Taking a snap shot of one day of my training in a past cycle proves nothing more than you're a troll. You know nothing about me, my training cycle, work training balance, medical conditions. I snatch and clean and jerk more than you, I'm cleaner than you (and your sister), I've seen your clips, laughable at best. Pics of sister don't seem to be loading...

Come to think of it....where did I offer my opinion on strength?
