There are bodybuilders with tremendous physiques who've always trained with high reps. Just as there are great physiques that have come from doing many sets and also few sets (volume vs HIT).

Personally I think a variety works best. I believe in doing high rep and low rep workouts either in rotation or in training mesocycles. I think a variety of rep ranges is the only way to maximise gains in both fast and slow twitch fibres.

For strength, however, from experience I believe 5x5 works best.



Bang on the money there mate.

Some weeks i may do 5x5 then other week 4 x 20 reps for whatever im doing. Variety imo is key.

Same with your excersise choice imo. Peope sometimes ask me what my routine is and i answer i havet got one and its true. I do what i feel like.
