    Based on your goals, I'd aim for 6-8 slow and agonizing reps.

    Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

    Based on strength and size, according to NASM would be 6-12 at about 80% 1rm, max strength max intensity at aout 1-5.
