reps
Do you have to do different reps and sets for the different parts of your body? Because I was just going to do rep ranges of 8, 6, 4 and a set to fail on all body parts.
Cheers

For me, the larger the muscle group, the fewer reps i do. the smaller muscle, the more reps i do. I don't know how i'd do tri's or calves with only 4 reps

sounds good, excpt for legs. usually with legs you wana go over and beyond what you normally train b.c 1. large muscle/group. 2. gets trained daily with activites and 3. wana b sore as this is a factor that determines if u got it in good or not.
yea i wouldnt mess with a set of 4 reps nething either.

If you listen to Dorian Yates, he makes it very clear. All muscles should be put to failure within the 6-10 rep range. The only muscles that will still benefit from higher reps is your legs. Due to the size of those muscles, legs can be worked out upwards of 10-15 reps.
There are countless discussions on how many reps need to be done and the specifics of the amount based on the goal wanting to be achieved. You will never really find a definite answer.
