In this case, the mods were attempting to prevent a good discussion from being sidetracked. (We don't appear to have been particularly successful! ) But there's also been a few times that we've decided not to uphold complaints made about your posts.

Anyway if you think a mod edit is unfair, send me a PM with the details and I'll take a look.

Now... Getting back to the topic! I do most of my workouts 8-15 reps, but now and again I'll go 6-8, sometimes 4-6. I don't know whether the lower rep stuff helps growth (I do know it's harder on my joints) but I'll throw it in occasionally just to hedge my bets.

you should set up a journal pseu - interested to see what sort of weights you are slinging

Good post. I think the variety is the key. We were having a discussion around lat pulldowns for example. Back is one of the more difficult bodyparts to train in my view. I have taken the approach of trying to work up to a couple of heavy sets of 5-6 reps when I tend to use as much weight as possible and not get too concerned with the form. And then backing off with some higher reps of say 8-12. Not particularly high reps for some. The goal on the way down is to focus more on form.

Interested in what others have to say.

high rep man myself. i like platzs attitude of squatting himself to death for the hell of it. i don't feel mentally satisfied by low reps. i might be talking shit here i've only had 2hrs sleep in the last 36hrs and feeling pretty spaced. yourself thomas?
