That's alot of sets! Rep range always 10> or do you ever do lower reps?

Depends on the exercises SteM, but I always do reps till it hurts then do an extra 2 or 3...as Arnie used to say, that's when the muscle grows....you think I should do up the weights and lower the reps? For example my bench is now 100kgs at 8 - 10 reps so could do 110kg's at 6 reps etc

There's really no harm with variety. I currently do one week at 6-8 reps and alternate weeks at 10-12. I feel like I maintain (or even build) muscle better on a cut with this approach. Each set is pretty much done to failure.

On my next workout cycle (which isn't a cut) I'll be changing this from 4-6 and 8-10 reps.

I may "borrow" that approach from you When I was aiming to get big, that's the training technique I would use. Low reps but super heavy at full movement...
