Best rep scheme for Rows

[ExtraMile]

so doing 8-12 rep deadlifts build more mass in the back than heavy ass 1-6 rep range deads?

look at matt kroc's back Im pretty sure he isnt deadlifting 8-12 reps, and he does chinups in the 15-30 rep range.

but i know what your saying bro going heavy and stimulating muscles for a decent period of time is best achieved with 8-12 reps because any lower and the sets become very short and the rests very long and any higher and the sets start to become a little long

I dunno if I agree with pushing to failure on everything for every workout.. it's interesting to hear from all you guys,.

I used to go to the gym and do pyramid sets it would look somthing like 10-8-6-8-10. I find thats fine with the easier exercises like curls, as far as squats go i love doing heavy for 5 reps, it keeps my form tight and really works my legs.

Deadlifts are also great 5x5

I think I worry about the CNS and stimulating muscle fibres etc... all that shit.

Then join the rest of the average joes in the gym who drop the weight once they start feel ing a little pain and discomfort, its those last reps that really count, imo.
