Increasing strength vs. increasing size

[John Alston]

Well, then I guess I'll stick to 1-3 on my olifts, squats, and pulls, while doing 3-5s on the bis and tris for the hyoooge guns, and 3-6s on db rows to get so wide that I can glide on my lats like a flying squirrel.

I think Mark Rippetoe's rep range chart from Starting Strength works pretty well.

5 is a good blend of size and strength. Of course, if you don't eat enough you aren't going to get the size benefits, well at least you won't become heavier.

That's a great graphic in there. Thanks!

I'm more like Bullwinkle myself!

Well, don't go too crazy with those or else we'll have to start greasing you into your newly-purchased singlet.
