    Rep ranges:
    Strength/power: 1-5 reps (optimal strength range)
    Strength and size: 6-8 reps
    Size with some strength: 8-12 reps (optimal body-building range)
    Local endurance with little strength or size: 13-20+

    For bodybuilding purposes, it is beneficial to use ALL rep ranges, with emphasis on 8-12 reps. If you want to get really strong, plan on spending a substantial amount of time in the 3-5 rep range. If you want to get really big, spend a lot of time in the 6 - 10 rep range.

    Load (amount of weight):
    Strength/power: 85% or more of 1 rep max
    Bodybuilding/Muscle mass: 70-75% of 1 rep max

    It is well documented that maximal strength is increased by working somewhere between 85% and 100% of your one rep maximum. If you are working for muscle mass (bodybuilding) and not pure strength, your best bet is to use a variety of loads within the 70% - 95% range.

    imo, people do this because they are afraid of getting flamed. so they figure if they make it seem urgent, people will give quick, short responses. you see it a lot in the steroid section.
