Message Subject Trying to get strong? Forget muscles, you need to work out your NERVES by lifting heavy weights, new study finds

Just interested in getting bigger muscles bro!
Don't wanna be a power lifter. Lifting to heavy just increases to possibility of injury. And you don't want that!

I think you are wrong in your assessment.
Here is a quote from David Kingsbury, the man who train Hugh Jackman for his Wolverine role.
"Hugh hadn't done much direct strength work prior to training with me. He mostly worked in the 8-12 rep range. I always encourage low, 1-5 rep heavy work to stimulate myofibril hypertrophy. Then after the heavy work is done we move onto the higher rep schemes to encourage sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. By increasing your strength with the low reps, you increase your capacity with the higher reps, so I always plan heavy sets of the compound movements. The combination of the two styles brings the best gains."

Interesting article!
It still encourages a combination of low rep and later high rep exercises.
What I see in the gym all the time is young guys that load up the bar as heavy as they can for bench, squat and deadlift and go ahead and jerk for 1-3 reps.
Due to my a little more advanced age I usually only due exercises I can reach 8-16 reps. I can not lift as much as the young guys, but I achieved more muscle mass and more importantly no injuries.
