Optimal rep range
If I am looking for strength and size and both are of equal importance, what would be the optimal rep range? I've read a lot of things but I still am confused. My program consists of all compound movements.

You definitely don't have to get bigger to get stronger, though it certainly makes it easier. Originally Posted by swordfish

That rep range seems to have the best of both worlds according to people who've tried it. Originally Posted by Witchblade

knowing how to manipulate different training variables at the right time is optimal.

A strong person must be someone who is coordinated, agile, accurate, and have good balance or else their strength cannot be maximized to accomplish a lift or even a simple everyday task.
In my training I implement a variety of rep ranges depending on the Workout Of the Day. I may perform sets of 5 reps, sets of 25 reps, and even sets over 100 reps. It all depends on my program for that day, but my goals always remain the same: Elite Conditioning, Strength, and Overall Well-Being.
The key to any routine lies in your ability to abandon it for another.
