re: Weight training - any pointers on how to cycle between hypertrophy and strength?

yall realize that number of reps doesnt even matter...right? atleast up to about 30 reps.

its about how close you get to failure, did you progressively overload and lift sufficient tonnage to cause an adaptation.

you could easily get just as much or more out of 10 sets of 3 as you could 3 sets of 10. prolly get way more out of it.

I resisted doing heavy lifting because I was worried my joints, ancillary muscles, and tendons needed to get used to the load. I think I'm at the point now where I could go heavier. That being said, you're sort of saying 2 conflicting things. If the number of reps doesn't matter, then why would you say you would probably get more out of 10 3 rep sets as opposed to 3 10 rep sets? Can you clarify what you mean there?
