If size/hypertrophy is the goal for a regular natural lifter, is high volume/density training better, or lower volume 'chase the numbers' type training

Depends on where they are at in progression but either way it's chasing the number. It's the increase in strength over time in ANY GIVEN REP RANGE that is going to drive hypertrophy so long as you are in a caloric surplus, positive nitrogen balance, and are meeting minimum effective volume marks

Stop over thinking it. Just eat 300g of protein, lift to get stronger in the 5-10 rep range, increased frequency and the results will come.

There is nothing magical about any rep range, it's the progression over time. It's funny the volume guys scream about volume yet DC training just plain fricking works and is super low volume.


Where you personally are at, you just need to eat 300g of protein and lift hard as frick 3 days a week.
