[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your goals is size, then lift heavier weight with fewer reps (6 to 8) but get enough rest days for same muscle group. Also, eat a lot. But healthy food. If you want to be healthy then mix weights and cardio, eat sensible and watch portions and walk a lot. Get a dog. Makes you walk. Good luck. [/quote] If hypertrophy is the main goal I would actually do slightly higher rep ranges, line 8-12. 6-8 will build muscle too but proximity to failure is important to build muscle and it is riskier at higher weights which are necessary for lower rep ranges. For beginner in particular I would only have them do compounds at 6-8 targeting 2-3 reps from failure and have them do accessories somewhere in the 8-15 range 1-2 reps from failure or to full failure on the last set of each exercise.
