A friend told me that quads respond best to high weight and high reps so I started doing 225 3x of 20 and got good results. So could any one tell me what king of rep range your chest or tri's respond best to. I know everyone is different but could I just get some feedback on the subject?

vary your rep range to prevent accomodation. Optimal strength means being strong in a variety of rep ranges. Muscles respond to a variety of tensions.

A man of great wisdom.
I switch between 4-6/8/12-15 reps....weight should meet according to reps.

high weight high rep squats are AMAZING! my leg day seriously consists of about 5 minutes total of lifting. and a good 15 minutes of recovery before i can go walk the quarter mile home

I do 15 reps total for squats, including the warm up... But I lift with maximal weights and obviously a low volume, high intensity routine. That's basically how all of my exercises are (save for pull ups, chin ups, farmers' walks and bicycle maneuvers).
