Reps and proximity to failure for hypertrophy?

[powerup79]

What is everyone's opinion on total reps per set and proximity to failure for muscle growth?

On bench and squat I typically don't do less than 10 and the accessories I'm usually anywhere between 15-20 and pretty much right at or within one or two of failure.

Just curious what other people are doing.

For myself I start with 12-15 reps and add 10 lbs everytime untill I end up at failure , that being the 4-5 rep range . Sometimes it's 5 sets other times it's 8 sets depending on the exercise I'm doing .

I like to do drop sets to near failure

so start with 6 reps, then 8 reps, then 10 reps
drop set into 25reps, drop set into 50 reps (real high pumps)

so I use heavy to lighter and drop set it

It's simple:

Strength: 1-8 reps
Muscle: 8-12 reps
Conditioning: 12-20 or more

Legs can handle higher reps and of course people are different but the above numbers are averages

You should do as much your body allows....

Just push it to your limits make sure you have a spotter though!
