From researching various books and websites, it seems that the 5-7 rep range is what's generally accepted as being best for muscular hypertrophy, based on the philosophy that this rep range utilizes fast twitch fibers more than slow twitch, and higher rep ranges would recruit slow twitch which don't have nearly the capacity for growth when compared to the fast.

However, I have seen some contradictions to this, some even suggesting the 8-12 rep range is best.

I am not overly concerned with strength; I don't care if i'm the weakest guy in the gym so long as I look the way I want to. Plus, it's hard to imagine that strength won't automatically come with size, which is what i'm after most.

I would like to hear your opinions on this.
