    Than your goals would be a weight and bf% goal. You may want to put some lower reps and higher weight movements in your training. You'd be surprised how well it works on packing size on you. I don't perform any high reps (not bbing high) and it's worked well for me.

    That's why I was saying the mixed reps. It will give both strength and size. But then also goes back to high rep but keeping heavier weight then raising the weight again till back to 5 reps. Maybe I need to make a graph I don't think everyone understands what I'm saying.

    Well I'm going to try to make a simple description.

    Example:
    Squats 5x12-90, 5x12-110, 5x10-120, 5x8-130, 5x5-140 ok can only push five reps with this weight so 5x6-140, 5x7-140, 5x8-140, 5x10-140, 5x12-140 ok can do 12 reps now this
    5x10-150, 5x8-160, 5x6-170, 5x5-180
    5x6-180, 5x8-180, 5x10-180, 5x12-180,
    5x10-190, 5x8-200, 5x5-210, 5x7-210.

    This is imaginary weight numbers just for the example.
    The idea is use weight you can only push this many reps if you have upped the weight from the last exercise but you can push same number of rep then push the same.

    I couldn't figure out how to graph it. The reason I thought about this is because of my shoulder I can't progress weight as fast so I figure mix between upping weight with low rep and higher reps.
