you can make better gains

Just like Omega preaches. It definatley works. And it hurts. When I can go full speed again (hopefully starting tonight!!!!!) I will be working each part 2x wk. Once light with high set/reps once heavier in the 8-10 rep range.
I OCD about my split so goddamn bad it seems the only way.

On your note radar....a 19 yr old kid (skinny) was asking me (whilst mid cycle and I was 275 lb) what he could do better. He was doing wide grip pull downs. trying for all his worth to do 200 lb. I was only using 140. I said try going half the weight and half the speed and dont lock out. I explained why to him then he cocked his head like a dog hearing a dog whistle and went on about floundering. ....god i hate people.

lol.! some people have no clue

its a science not a competition to see how much you can lift, swallow your pride ,even the Pro's are seen doing 45'lb curls!

^^^^^^^^^ This! We are bodybuilders. Not powerlifters. The amount of weight we are lifting is not important. The results of said weight lifting are what matters. Unless you are like Moya and a couple of others on here who are competing in power lifting. Well he's probably not the best example cause dude looks great to. I think you get the point though. Lol

^i would say a lot it is in my mind-muscle connection... i can get a massive pump doing just singles and triples, i know most bodies dont work that way though...
i do still use higher reps on my 'aesthetic' lifts... 8 reps is high reps, right?

edit: also i believe strongly in the fact that as your body begins lift heavier weights it will grow to accomodate them...

Heavy buils the bigger white fiber muscles, higher rep builds the smaller red fibers.

What people fail to realize is that not everyone has mostly white fibers. If you're mostly made up from red, then higher rep training will build more muscle. High rep work also increases mitochondria, which in turn builds more muscle.
