Do you believe in lighter weight, higher reps?

[bignate73]

if someone is doing 15-25RM reps, that weight is considered light!
moderate being 8-12RM
heavy is 1-6RM

(dont worry, no one does 7,13,or 14 reps) hehehe.

I like lifting heavy, but only because it makes my face bleed. Any gains in size or strength are merely incidental.

I'm now doing moderate weight with higher reps. The only reason I'm doing it now is because of a couple injuries. Most of the newer research coming out seems to be pointing towards higher reps for muscle, but I personally think I was getting better gains when I lifted Dorian style.

I usually start out with lighter weight and higher reps. But as I move through my sets I increase the weight and decrease the reps. I feel like this method gives me a little bit of both worlds
