    Common misperception is higher weight + lower reps= bigger. Not the case, just makes your lifts stronger and most ppl tend to have awful form when they lift the heaviest they can. Good form and sets of 8-12 will build muscle; going to failure is great bc it breaks down the muscle and allows it to rebuild.

    My form is one thing I am very proud of. I have taken lots of time dropping weight to get correct form, I used to work out with a friend who could do so much weight but his form was absolutely terrible.
