Def. Low for me, but I respond better to low reps generally anyway.

You don't need to make 2 of these topics about the same thing. I think anywherer from 4-8 reps is fine.

Try doing timed sets for a while. My tris grow very well from timed sets better then any other method I have used. I like band pressdowns for 3-5 minutes doing 1-3 sets 2x a week but you should adjust to however you need it

6-8 sets
6-10 reps in each set"The only way out of hell, is through it. "

Same answer, the ONLY way to MAXIMUM size is to do different rep ranges. Even if one got HUGE for low or high reps, they could get slightly bigger by doing some sets in the other range.Originally Posted by K9icular
The muscles adapt specifically to the stress imposed on them.
