Majority of my lifting career I used low reps (3-6) high weight but past couple months I've alternated high reps (10-20) mod weight one week and and low rep/high weigh the next.

Thanks brah. It's funny you say that cause I used to be small and ripped but I feel like finally I'm one of the bigger dudes at the gym.

Great muscularity and balance!
Nice core and lean
Nothing to fault!

ok. do u feel 3-6 has yielded the most gains or does it just feel the best? or both?

i read an article recently that made me think i shouldn't be wondering why im not making good gains because i havent stuck to the hypertrophy range which apparently is 8-10 but i've always done 5-7 because it feels the best, however it's hard to guage because i've never done a diff rep range than that because anything else just bores me. 5-7 makes me feel powerful.

Well what my understanding of the different rep/weight schemes are that low weight heavy weights will elicit more nerve/muscle connections. High reps with the intensity you'd have with low rep/ high weights meaning to failure will increase blood flow to the muscle and make the muscle "swole." So I think both schemes have there place in building huge muscle but it could be broscience. Just my understanding of it.

regardless the reality of it is u've made the majority of your lean muscle gains from 3-6 reps so yes thats all broscience given that fact. gotta do what works.

what i now believe to be most important is volume.

5 sets of 3-6 is to 4 sets of 5-7 in a matter of speaking of course.

Sick man, What did your nutrition look like?

[AirForceV]

That's how we do.

Slow and steady, blow by the rest.

[DstryEvrytng]

Awesome. Exellent work bro

[fittofattofit]

Looking way bigger than 185, I would have guessed closer to 200, unless the legs don't match - thick chest, delts, arms, lats and traps
How are the legs?
Looking strong - what are your lifts?
Very aesthetic physique - not overblown - great job!

Sick man, What did your nutrition look like?

Thanks bro! My diet as of now is 3 protein shakes: 1 casein shake at 1:30 AM, 1 weight gainer shake around 10:00 AM; and another weight gainer shake post-workout. As for my food I try to eat 3 big meals and 2 small meals throughout the day with lean meats and good carbs (ex: sweet potato, brown rice, ect).
