it depends on how much weight your working out with. if you are using a weight that is challenging and only you can do 3 to 5 reps you are using the right weight if you want strength.. you should use low reps because it stimulates your muscle fibers faster and more rapidly then higher reps. higher reps=more muscle endurance, and more definition. Lower reps= strength and muscle mass. you will gain strength quicker with weight that you can only do low reps.
