For max muscle growth, how many sets and reps should I do?
Was thinking 8x6 or 6x10.

"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
You should work in all rep ranges if you want the maximum benefit. 5, 10, 12, it doesn't matter. As long as you're getting stronger (on anything but 1RMs), eventually you'll get bigger .. or you won't be getting any stronger.
way, way, way too much, unless you're including warmups in all that.

then 2x5-8 for compound work, 2x8-12 for isolation work.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
The question of what rep scheme to primarily use is a big question, but the fact is, as long as you're training progressively in a reasonable rep range, you'll get stronger and therefore bigger (if your diet is in check).
There's thousands of ways to train...Even the notion that very low reps don't make you grow is wrong (they will if done in enough volume). Schemes such as 5x3 and 8x2 are used a lot in westside barbell routines and most people do really well on those sorts of routines.
i.e. on a basic 3day split just grab your exercises and just do 3x5-8

A question like this shows your missing the big picture and have greater problem, which i think is wanting FAST INSTANT results based on the threads you've been posting here. I know your new and i'm willing to help you if you want but i'll need you to change your perspective by reading the idiots guide to growth, A-Units stickied post, and search for Squat for Big Arms and read that as well.
