For many years i was a beleiver that reps in the range of 6 - 8 heavy was the way to go to build size, after joining uk muscle my thoughts on this changed a little over time and i changed to 6 - 10 reps. Basically as soon as i hit 10 reps i would drop back to 6 reps and add weight and so on. I used this system for the 6 - 8 range as well.

I do not know which way is better but personally i still think that 6 - 8 reps is better for adding on the muscle, also as long as the weights are raised very slightly you should lift heavier quicker using this system.

Basically i thought i would put up a poll to see how opinions vary on this.
