TweetI like alot of volume but still similar to what you do.
TweetI prefer Low rep heavy weight on core lifts and core accessory lifts with higher reps on secondary accessory lifts...........
Lets hear your take.

TweetYep, theres a time for all rep ranges. Low to high...I love 20 rep squat sets, ass to grass
TweetI like to hit up every body part w/ as much weight as possible and keep low reps, preferably the 8-10 range !!! Bu most nites the last set will be low weight high reap to put as much blood in the muscle as possible. But it really all depends on what I feel that nite .
I don't go in with a set game plan, I just know I want to hit this muscle , do a quick review of the excersises I want to do and balls to the walls !!!
If I'm not feeling it one nite, I'll keep the weight low and reps high.
But it all depends !!!
TweetI keep it in the 9-10 rep range (to failure every time) and then finish a body part with an FST-7 set to pump the blood in.
Tweet5 reps to singles on the low rep side, 8-12 reps on the high side here.
TweetI was exactly like you Max on the high weight/low rep...I then switched to high rep/low weight for every body part...i saw some nice results too...lately though I am doing a hybrid like you all were suggesting where the major muscle groups get the high weight/low rep, etc. I like blasting triceps with 20+ reps, super strict form...I did this last night and really felt a difference.
TweetIf the weight is heavy and the reps are low, I really need to focus on my form and concentrate on the muscles I'm targeting. If I don't pay attention to what I'm doing on the heavy low reps sets, it can become just a grind it out sloppy mess. It's much easier for me to use a lighter weight high rep set to focus on the muscle group and really hit the area I'm try to grow. I'm not a power lifter or care to be a huge monster so my style works for me. Again there is a place for both and it's usually goal orientated.

TweetI like to switch up when I feel stale but generally I run either volume with 5 sets per exercise three exercises per bodypart or low volume sets to failure both with high weight with the goal of adding reps and once I'm at 10 reps weight goes up next time. But now and agin like this time of year when shoulder and knee are achy from months of heavy weights I'll stay with volume scheme and shoot for 12-15 reps with a bit lighter weight and shock with some super sets or like Monday do incline presses with 205 (down from 265) for ten reps and keep stripping a 10 off each side for another 10 reps til I'm at 85 pounds and then still with no rest put the 10s back on each side for 10 reps til I'm back at 205 for final set.
