You can still get stronger maximally by training your nervous system using heavy, low reps.
So it doesn't matter how you train if your goal is muscular size as long as you train your muscle groups with reasonable intensity 2-3 times a week.
You can get fatter of course if you eat a lot and some of the weight gain will be muscle but it will mostly be fat.

That depends on the individual. Some don’t respond well to low reps and heavy weight. I’ve always found my sweet spot was 8-15 reps with moderate weight. Only fast twitch muscle fibre dominate types respond well to heavy weight, low set, low rep scheme. If slow twitch, a more endurance type of training is better.

I think perhaps I wasn't clear.

Not bodybuilding.

I was a Dorian Fan and used to try and train HIT. I started getting old and injured. I find I get better results from more volume and blood pump than maximum failure lifts
