I'm training for size as opposed to strength, and my routine has always been 4 x 6-8. Considering that rep ranges are considered better to be higher for size, does anyone think it would be beter to train using 3x10?

Or a range of anywhere between 8-12 perhaps? If either is the case, does anyone know if I should be doing 3 sets as opposed to 4? I notice that is the trend with higher rep ranges too.

If someone's gonna say that it depends which bodypart, could they please give some examples as I wouldn't know which ones it would apply to - is that kind of thing dependant on size?

Answers appreciated!
