lifting for size
There is a general rule - lifting for size (getting bulk) requires lower range of reps than lifting for definition for example. I would say - after 1-2 warmup sets, light weight and 1 middle set with moderate weight (8 reps) you should have few sets with 6 reps -heavy weight.
These figures varies depends on exercises. Squats and deadlifts usually require less reps.
For more info type in Triple Fitness Impact on google and register on their website. You will find very vital info there - workout programs and diet you can build yourself. Good website.
Take care and stay steady
