True, lets not complicate things. These are the things that matter!

so then there are no set numbers of reps to be done to grow, so long as it is intense enough to get a good pump and form is perfect is this right

Well, yes and no.
Some guys use high volume and low intensity. This equates to many sets with low intensity.
Some guys use high intensity and lower volume. This equates to few sets with alot of intensity.

So, you have to look at 3 things like volume, intensity, frequency.
Some guys dont do alot of intensity but hit the muscle groups 2 or 3 times a week.
This could work providing the intensity and volume was tailored to that.

I like to spend the least amount of time in the gym possible, this is why I do HIT or high intensity training, where I do few sets but go to failure.

This is just my opinion. If you are getting stronger then you are doing the right thing, regardless of rep ranges.

I have grown on 3-5, i have also grown on 8-12 and my legs have grown on a stupid phase where I used to do 20 reps and chunder at the end of almost every workout...

what we need to do is not consistently have high volume and high intensity as this leads to overtraining for sure... choose one over the other imo and the weights, alongside proper deloading when the time is right, will go up for certain no matter what the rep range...

god this is an old post lol
