    Training techniques

    While bulking for size is it best to do high reps or lower reps to put on good mass?

    first you need to be eating loads....of good food that is!! but to answer your question, keep your rep range between 6-10, preferably 10...8....6 and let your 6th rep be your failure rep!!

    I agree.
    But I think it depends on the exercise...

    For example, in squat, I would do 10-8-6
    But for leg press, I would do 10-9-8 or just three sets of 8

    Well, anyway... The main idea here is to stick to the 6 to 10 rep range.

    I agree is it okay to do 12,8,8,10?
    with the first and last set being a lower weight?

    I thought low reps focused more on strength than size

    higher reps is for more defined look!! i found when bulking that 10,8,6 and only sometimes go as low as 4 reps works! i agree with the poster after me though for legs id keep up around the 8rep range
