high reps vs low reps

[Nelson Montana]

This is something I devote an entire chapter to in my book. Simply put, each does different thing, and hit different muscle fibers. So, it depends on the type of muscle fibers that are prevalent in your body that will decide which type of training should be dominant for best results.

What do you guys think of the 10 8 6 reps with increased weight every set?

Its an option I use, but like most said here...your body will adapt, you must switch it up every 6-8 weeks to keep your muscles and body guessing...but always progressively lift as heavy as you can.

So a 10 8 6. A 10x4 and so forth every 6 weeks or so

Find both are good. Going for strength keep heavy with low reps then after about 6 weeks throw a couple hypotrophy weeks in there to mix it up. Going for mass or cutting weight do the opposite....hypotrophy mostly for about 6-8 then throw a couple heavy weeks in there.

I like mixing it up with high and low reps. I find I grow well that way

 

[Dman22]

I grow decent and look bigger than I Am strong.

But I want to gain strength

Low reps heavy weight with steady progression. Wendler 5/3/1 or something like that is great. Then after a couple runs do 2-3 weeks of GVT then back to 5/3/1. Change the accessories up each time to mix it up.
