Will more reps help me put on size?

More workload = more hypertrophy
A bigger muscle is a stronger muscle. It’s pretty simple, lift more weight

Do both. Lift heavy 1 day a week and then lighter more reps later in the week.

Likely #1. However, if you used poor technique for #1, used quick negatives and didn’t hold tension, and never got close to failure and conversely did controlled reps with #2, utilizing long negatives to increase total tension, and got to failure or close to it, then the chest would likely grow more from #2.

Theoretically both work the same if taken to failure, but only the last 5 reps are effective reps…so on a big compound lift, why would we waste energy and recovery ability on needless reps instead of focusing on progressive overload in the 4-8 rep range?
The key to growth though is food and then stacking 2.5/5lbs in the bar every session, then after a couple resets, stacking weekly, then after a couple resets…monthly.so on and so fourth

everyone is going to give you a bunch of BS,
but its simple for chest
get strong af on first on barbell bench/incine then DB Bench, Incline DB bench, weighted dips and weighted ring pushups
if you can get your waist to 31-32" at the naval and hit the following standards...you will have the chest you want
bench-1.75x BW
incline- 1.5x bw
dips- 1x BW for 5-6
incline weighted ring pushups- 80lbs x 10
db bench- 125s for 8
db incline bench- 100s for 8

Too bad we can't go and dig out that one guys post a while back about his take on what drop sets were

Intensity matters whether you are doing 3x5 or 3x15.
Food is how you put on size. Real Food. Eat plenty of Ground Beef, Steaks, Eggs, Bacon, maybe a little chicken or fish thrown in. You can train until you pass out but if you aren't eating right you will not grow or if you have insane genetics you might grow some but you will hit a plateau you will not be able to break through without food. Real Whole Foods are the most anabolic thing you can put in your body besides actual anabolics themselves.

5-8 rep range
12-16 sets.
Eat high protein , tear it up, fuel it back up, recover and do it again and again.
