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

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
warm up properly: http://www.ironaddicts.com/Warm-ups.html
then 2x5-8 for compound work, 2x8-12 for isolation work.

5x5 all the way. Will give you strength & muscles.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.
