It means that different types of muscle fibres are stimulated depending on how many reps you do. As you see Jono is clearly wrong when he told you to do low reps for mass, this studdy and every other studdy on this topic shows that low reps are for strenght, for mass you should do 9-12 reps as you see in this studdy this gave excellent volume results

[BigMac]

i usually do around 8 reps, 3 sets of whatever lift i am doing.

i do 20kg, 6 sets on 8 reps; its pretty heavey for me. is that the rite way 2 gain mass? because i cant do 9-12.

9-12 reps is low fool

If you want to bulk its low reps, low sets. So what macca said about 8 reps and 3 sets, and it has to be heavy. You can push yourself a few extra reps if your not feeling the burn and if its on your last sets

If you want to get more cut, than lift light, with many reps.

Of course you will build strength with high resistance weights training, its appropriatly called "strength" training.

Does anyone wonder what Skora eats? Perhaps something that gives him such talent?!

Haha no seriously though I bet he is real healthy to have such great stamina.

After long hours of freestyle, every day, stamina was developed  :cheers:

i dont think i can lift much more heavier coz i gotta go up by 2.2kg intervals. i dont have small plates

so i should do 7 reps of 5 sets yea?

If 9-12 is a low amount of reps than what is 1-2?

Well i wasnt referring to the table you quoted. On own experiance of going to gym, and watching and getting advice from others, the appropriate amount of reps for getting bulk should be between 8-10, you can go 1 or 2 reps higher to push yourself, but the average is in there.

20kg of what? dumbell curls, bench press, deadlifts?

How much do you bench?

And whats your rest intervals between each set?
