Preferred for body building

Is it better to lift heavy for low reps or less weight for high reps? I want to add size and vascularity.

The truth of the matter is...both are important. It's kind of like asking what's more important - your heart or your liver? Well...You would be dead without either.


A good program will incorporate both blood volume training AND progressive overload.

Trevor's right. Both. Arguably a mid range is 'ideal' for muscle building

 

[stevesmi]

just don't do 1-3 max reps like i see some guys do.. that is a great way to get injured

Definitely not a black and white answer. Variety is key to training but vascularity has more to do with body fat and genetics.

Mixing it up will give you the best results for sure.
