Sticky: Training for STRENGTH vs. SIZE MYTH: Low reps is for strength, high reps is for size. Although this contains a grain of truth, it leads to wrong thinking - the classic problem we get on this forum is the legion of novices who don't want to do novice routines because they contain 5 rep sets ... which are "for strength" not...

New method I haven't lifted weights in like 15 years I think I know what I did wrong besides not enough protein Instead lifting heavy weights and low reps andblow sets. I should have been doing light weights for 10 to 15 reps and more sets . What do you think? I know it's a noob question.
