i was reading some article by layne norton and the guy says that yo can mix in the same workout the low reps for strenght example 5 reps ,moderate reps 6-12 for size(hypertrophy) and high reps 15 ... for the "pump" . ithink that for me is a good idea beacuse i want to get stronger and gain muscle mass what do you guys think of this type of workout.

Do what I used to do and still do kinda. Go 5x5 for the compound exercises like bench squat deadlifts and do an isolation exercise for each muscle in the range of 8-12 progressively increasing the weights like 12/10/8/6 etc etc. Good luck.

Training regularly but no progress?
You need one or more of these: more food, more weight, more reps or more rest.

I think its a good idea for overall development. Obviously you could also just concentrate on one range per workout if u wanted to.
I sort of like this general formula, say for 3 exercises for a bodypart
1) compound or basic exercise for low reps with 2:00 rest between sets. Reps done explosively with full lockout. 3-4 x 1-6
2) compound or iso for 3x6-10, 90 secs rest
3) iso for 3x10-12, 60 secs rest, continous tension (no lockout)
---
examples
push press 4x3, 2:00 rest between sets
rainbow press 3x8-10, 90 secs rest
cable side laterals 3x10-12, 60 secs rest
paused incline bb bench 4x5, 2:00 rest
flat db bench 3x8-10, 90 secs rest
pek dek 3x12, 60 secs rest"Humility comes before honor"

sometimes u can also vary within one exercise. for example th eother day I did a bunch of sets of incline bb presses. I was sort of following a sheiko powerlifting routine so I paused every rep and exploded up. It was basically a big pyramid workout but on the way down I switched and did "bodybuilder style" reps where I didnt lockout and I barely touched the chest so it was continous tension on the pecs. That way I hit the power and also the pump.
It MAY be better to just hit two ranges per workout so as to not give the body too many different things to adapt to at once."Humility comes before honor"

SAIS has a great scheme to follow. 3X6 to failure, 2X10 to failure, 1X20
