General consensus is low rep (4 - 6range), very heavy and eat like a bast@rd for bulk but handling weights so close to you 1rm can lead to injury if you don't build a solid core so go a bit lighter to start. (8 -10 failure).
I like the 8 rep range for a combination of size and definition
About 12 sets on big groups (chest, quads) so maybe 3 movements of 4 sets. reduce to 8 or 9 sets on smaller parts (arms, delts)
Always worth mixing up training to stimulate growth though so do the odd week of 15 - 20 reps.
That's just my opinion formed over the years for me. May need tweaking a bit for others |
