Just wondering which you tend to adopt in your training. Do you find you get best results from lifting heavy with low reps or lighter with higher reps.
I find that with compound exercises I tend to see more gains lifting as heavy as possible for 5 reps with good form (and usually a touch from my spotter on the last set), but I usually do cutting exercises for 8 reps at more moderate weight.
When i say moderate though, i always ensure that the last couple of reps are a struggle to say the least!
Just interested to see what approach you adopt seeing as you look so DARNED good!!!!!
We train with heavy weight and low reps if i need to develop a lagging part (eg. legs) i'll aim for 6-8 reps. Then i'll tend to use moderate weight aiming between 8-10 reps for maintaining and refining my physique. For developing my delts i've always used heavy weights beginning with compound movements.

Re: LOW AND HEAVY OR HIGH AND LIGHT??
For me..upper body medium to heavy weight 6-15 reps. It all depends on how smashed I am from my other activities Legs always light to medium...12-25 reps. By light I mean it is still pretty challenging..I probably start sucking it in by rep 13-14 and still have another 11-12 go...Basically I drop to floor after last rep
When I was getting ready for me BB comp I had thick mats ready for me at the end of the hall and practically fell on it after my last step
