Hey guys, I'm new here as you can see. I've been working out for about 6 months and have been following the forums on here for a little while before creating my account, so I'm not a complete noob. I was just wondering what would be the best for increasing my strength; more weight and less reps or less weight and more reps. Thoughts?
Weight.
If you have been following the forums you should i foudn this out already? For strength up the weight for about 8 reps, 3 sets.

Clearly you haven't been following the forums
in general
1-5 = strength
6 - 12 = size
13 + = endurance
95% of 1MR is just strength
80- 95 is speed and strength, below is just speed..or something, idk
but basically 5 reps or lower per set is good for strength. Make sure you add weight every session as long as you can :) eat eat eat
But some routines will maybe have one exercise that is higher reps. What i do is my rep rage is 4-6 if i can do 6 then i go up in weight if i can only get 4 or 3 then stay at that weight till i can do 5-6
