    really think you need to figure out how many reps works best for you.. i've done 4-6 reps, 8 reps, 10 reps, and 12 reps.. 12 reps seems to work the best for me for size

    Funny how many times we forget about the basics. Great post. I especially like #2 as it's often overlooked.

    for putting on size

    3 basic exercises: squat, deadlift, bench.

    this is what we for olympic training. organize your sets by putting them into a cycle that takes place over period of 10-12 weeks. start with 10 rep weeks, go onto 5 rep weeks, then to 3 rep weeks, then peak out to 2 rep weeks. this power cycle is highly effective with tuned to the individual athlete's abilities. master this and keep in mind that if you overtrain you will only weaken yourself.
