Trying to increase my 1 rep max on the squat, dead, bench, power clean. I hear mixed opinions on weather to stay 6-12 or do many sets at low reps 6x4

6x4 , low rep = more strength. You could even try 5x1's but I just do normal strength work and that usually ups my 1 rep. like 5x5 or 3x5.

Complete broscience. Muscles aren't conscious and can only react to stress put on them. A repetition is an artificial measurement, how would your body know how many reps you're doing? The only reason people advise low reps for strength is cos it's easier to progress. Rep range doesn't matter, as long as you put stress on your muscles with good form, intensity and your diet is good you will gain both strength and muscle. No training for one or the other.

I would do sets of 1 to improve your 1rm, and sets of 3-5 for general strength and more volume.
thats how my squat went from 374 to 462 in 6 months, heavy ass singles.Powerlifter at PTC Performance Training Centre
661 squat, 385 bench, 705 deadlift, 1752lb total.

I feel like I should be the one to break this news to you.
jdizzy21, we're honestly just not really entertained by you anymore. You're sort of like Dane Cook. At first, and I think I speak for all of us, we though, "Wow! Get a load of this guy! He's got new stuff! He's funny! I could get used to this!"
But then, we realized after far too long, "Wow, this guy is just a one trick pony! And he isn't even funny! He's just shouting nonsense! There is absolutely nothing I like about this person!" You've run your course. The shenanigans, the fake names, the poor grammar, the constant spamming: we get it. It's just not that funny man. We don't really like you. So please, for your own sake, go and actually try to make some real friends. Because we aren't your friends. We never were, and we never will be. You aren't funny, you weren't funny, and you never will be.☆☆☆Apologizes When Receiving Compliments Crew☆☆☆
