Lighter weight higher reps for muscle growth?

Good video! I'll probably look up the others in his series. Straight forward, useful info. That said...
The two studies he cites are out of the same lab and not a replication. The research cited isn't the end-all. There's good published research on time under tension as well (which doesn't contradict his recommendations, but offers a different approach) Google that term if interested

That is true. There are a lot of studies that contradict others, some believe that the previous didnt have proper constraints so they re-do it. He quotes meta-analyses often, which I prefer because that factors in multiple studies.
I really feel like most of this stuff, not just rep ranges, it all just comes down to personal preference and what works best for the individual (within reason).
I personally like to do heavy-low rep for compound, and light-high rep for iso exercises.

Check out his myth-bust series too. Good stuff.
