Heavy Weights/Low Reps Vs Light/More Reps?

[Obs]

Btw, on weight high or low oand reps high and low, the amount of effort you put in with little to no break makes all the difference. I break two minutes on squats between sets but only cause I am a puss I guess. My arms shoulders back days I am drenched with sweat with the thermostat all the way down.
I hear people say break till you catch your breath and there is no way I could do that it would take five minutes. I have a home gym thank god, because people would think I was dying on arm day running between machines and throwing plates off panting and leaking and drooling.
I dont think reps has as much to do with it as sheer effort and HIT.

When I started to lift weights, which was about 2 years ago, I've been following the heavy weights/low reps idea, I learned about it from going onto the site muscleforlife.com, and study after study according to this site says lifting heavy with low reps is the way to lift weights with a rest of 3-4 mins in between sets, because apparently studies show when you have a longer rest period between sets, you can lift more heavy as compared to shorter rest periods. So the program on this website entails a workout of mostly 1 body part a day, because of the longer rest period. I don't know if it's effective because he includes triceps and biceps and one chest workout in one day, which is a push and pull workout. And I've read elsewhere is to to separate workouts in pull and push days. Ever since starting this workout, I've rarely done lower weights and more reps with shorter rest periods.

So many different techniques and opinions etc. I guess I have to find what works for me. But when I read "this is the most effective way to work out", it makes you believe that's how one should workout.
