How many REPS do you do during a bulking cycle?

Once again, Mr. Wump eloquently answers our questions with speed and precision. As if his head were on a swivel, he cooly replies to stupid queries from all directions. Alex Trebec on acid would appear to be in slow motion in comparison...

STFU, blut is a good bro.

for me i find that when i do more reps like sets of 30 i tear my muscle up more and it grows back bigger...where as when i just do heavy wieght....it is tough but the next day i am not half as sore...and dont really feel like im growing

soreness doesn't indicate growth - it indicates poor conditioning to the workload (be it volume or be it frequency of workouts).

The heavier I go, the more I grow.

Usually I start a cycle and my workout consists of 3-4 sets of 10 reps. With each passing week, I raise the waeight and increase the sets while lowering the reps. By the last couple weeks of my cycle I am on 6 sets of 5 reps and really moving some weight around.

It all depends on the day. Are you tired, more energized, what exercise are you doing. What muscle are you targeting. How did you lift the last few times with that muscle. Bulking or cutting should not matter when you are looking at rep ranges. Start trying to know your body and go with what feels right. Today I started out with 10-12 reps and by the end I was doing 5 or 6 reps. The heavier you go and the more fatigued you get, plus the quicker you lift all depends on what your body can do.
