4 sets of 10 reps good for size gains?

[MuscleGainer]

I'm right now doing a weight that I can do for 8-12 reps on my first heavy set and as many reps as I can do on the next 2 sets. I'm considering changing my routine to a weight that I can do for 4 sets of 10 reps (10 reps on each of my sets, not including warm up sets). I'm still trying to build up strength in my squats since I feel that my squats are lagging behind compared to my other lifts. I'm trying to increase my weight by 5 lbs in squats every other leg workout. and once I reach 185 lbs in squats I'll start doing 4 sets of 10 reps with 185 lbs for squats and I squat a little below parrallel. Anyone try 4 sets of 10 reps, not including warmup sets, and get good results in size gains and I'm not talking newbie gains?

4 sets of 10 is great. What is optimal will depend on individual and probably changes depending on bodypart.
For legs, you may even go 4 sets of 12-16, and that may even be optimal.
Also, variety in rep ranges is good for size.

reps depend on the exercise imo

I do 3 sets per exercise with either 6-8 reps or 8-12 reps... Just try what you are planning out and see what works. All trial and error.

i feel that power bodybuilding is really effective doing 6 sets of 5
hypertrophy is in the range of doing 3 sets of 8-12
by doing 6 sets of 5 your gaining strength while at the same time getting in the 30 reps for growth

I like 8, 6, 5, 8, then maybe 10-12. Plenty of reps for size and good range for strength.
