What is your goal? Mass or strength?? The workout scheme that you have presented seems to be more for strength...the rep scheme for strength is mainly between 3-5 reps and some 6-8...but you need to give urself about 3 minutes or so to recharge your ATP stores in order to hit your maximal weights and recruit the right fibers. 98% of your ATP is restored in 7 minutes, hence the reason for such long rests for powerlfiters. Now as far as size goes...well, 1. You need to activate your muscles enough to cause actin/myosin protein quality changes and cause a rise in androgen receptor content in the muscle (your receptor content changes as you work the muscle) and you need to elevate your GH levels. 2. you need the pump to increase blood flow to your muscles and give more interaction time between floating hormones and the new androgen receptors. The best rep scheme and intensity for size would be 8-12 reps and about 75-85% 1RM. So by doing 8-12 reps you can cause the pump (anything over 45% 1 RM cuts off venous blood return from the muslces) and increase lactic acid levels which will in turn increase you GH levels. Now the information that I have listed is based on studies of non AAS people..however, the concepts still hold true with long rest periods to recharge ATP, androgen receptor increases and the benefit of the pump. Heavy weights will give you some size, but this is not the most beneficial way to add size.
