To put on size you need to do three things:hey, lately ive been doing 10-12 reps, and lifting as heavy as i can for those reps. i was just wondering to put on size, is it better to do that style of hypertrophy training or is doing 3-6 reps with a very heavy weight better for size gains.
Dunno about that mate. I've seen some pretty strong BB's who never train specifically for strength.If you do not trai nfor strenght you will be weak regardless of size.
lower rep vs higher rep range?

Now close your eyes Adrian and just imagine what you would be squatting if you really trained for strength! Try 200kg for starters and 220kg not far behind it...I've squated 150 x 5 and do not train for strength...
I don't care how much I squat. I care about having massive tree trunk legs, weather they squat 150 or 250. I know I am stronger than most so that's good enough for me.
You can see size you cannot see strength.
This is true, but I still like setting up beside the 100kg lad and out benching him lol
you can see size and you can witness acts of strength, Personally i am aiming for a balance of both..
so Fadi,....you mention doing hi rep and low reps sets each week, do these have to be in different sessions or can you pyramid up each session ie:
60 x 10
80 x 8
90 x 6
100 x 3
110 x 1, and keep pushing these each week, its what i do when getting close to a peaking out so to speak, but generally i cycle up to it. Once I hit my Pb or 1 rm maxes I drop the weights back down, starting at a slightly heavier weight and building up to and beyond my previous pbs. as i peaked around Aus day I am now doing bigger reps, about 10, some exersises 20 but try not to go less than 8 at the moment, in a few weeks I will start increasing the weights and, tapering out the sets /reps again..sort of a grow some muscle , then teach it to be strong..
