muscles responding
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.

I switch between 4-6/8/12-15 reps....weight should meet according to reps. |

Functional Lifting = Life
|
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).
