I also take the time to do maxs-heavy sets but with all the extra body fat im toting around ive been afraid to try for size right now
Within your first year any kind of training will produce gains IMHO, once you come to a sticking point in your results then its time to change things around and try different protocols. 800-1000 reps per night sounds like wasted reps to me but again if your gaining stick with it until you start standing still with your progress.
