Powerlifter turning Bodybuilder
My last powerlifting meet ever was saturday, and the last time that I will ever be told to weigh under 168lbs. After doing nothin but strength training I wanted to know from some people, what amount of reps and sets personally work for them to gain some crazy mass, I have never done over 3 sets of 5 or 8 reps. Should I now be doing 10 or 12 reps? Any help would be appreciated.

4 sets (not including warm up) from 10-12 reps should be fine just push yourself and for me I do about 5 excercises per body part and I'm at 260lbs. 12%bf so It's not bad and my strenght keeps going up like crazy. Remember though it's not about the weight you put on the bar it's the form

No, theres no rep range for cutting. Cutting is just about doing cardio and cleaning up your diet.
