I am currently do 15 rep super sets and was wondering if that is mainly for muscular endurance rather than muscle building and strength? Should I still gain muscle while doing 15 reps orjust endurance? I am looking to gain muscle mass and strength

^ low reps (4-6) wouldnt tear the muscle fiber down as much as moderate high reps (6-12)
You should start off with a pyramid to hit both high and low rep ranges, increasing the weight and lowering the reps every set.
Example) 4x12,10,8,6
And when you get really advanced u can do a 6 to 8 set pyramid, 8x15,12,10,8,6,8,10,12-15 or 6x12,10,8,6,8,10-15.
And keep your diet in check. High protein, high carb, medium-low fats.
