Is it possible to gain in all 3 at the same time?

I remember reading 6 reps per set are ideal for strength, 8 for size, 10 for power and 12+ for endurance.
Is it possible to gain strength, power and size from 1 workout?

I do a routine using the pyramid training method starting at 12 reps and work down 10, 8, then six reps. I find this helps me pack on size and helps my strength aswell

do you up the weight whilst reducing the reps too?

mackers

oh yes, try and up the weight by say 2.5kg everytime, or more if you can handle it.

Im currently doing 20, 10, 5 and going up by 5kg between each step. Are my reps too far apart, would i be better on 12, 8, 6 or something?

I've just started doing 12, 10, 8, 6, seems to be working well for me

Good, its all about trying different routines to see what suits you. I used to train with a guy and he loved 4 sets of 6 reps but it just never worked for me. I`d prefer to stagger my reps. Keep up the good work

I stagger mine all the time depending on how much energy I feel I have on a particular day and I believe its good not to get fixed into a set numbered routine as your body will get used to it and adapt to compensate ie: just stop growing. If you keep changing it regular it has to change dramatically to compensate for extreme stresses etc

I usually do 10, 9, 8, 6 but sometimes if i'm feeling extra energetic i'll do 12, 10, 9, failure (usually about 5)

my way be suit me but not everyone?
