Agreed.

Why not use the best of both worlds. I always start off with a heavy set for like 4/5/6 reps then i do one more set of 13 reps. im talking about 2 working sets per exerize here. i believe in mentzer's hit-training. even when im low on cals dieting, im still getting stronger this way, otherwise it gets boring. i just worked up to 100 kg for incline presses, for 3 reps, nothing fancy about that, but for me its a accomplishment, never see guys use that amount of weight with my low bodyweight of 83 kg, you could say im pound for pound one of the strongest in the gym. guys should focus on  strength even when dieting imo, you aint gonna get any new muscle so why bother going to failure, instead of that get stronger!

How is a weight you can get 10 reps with 'heavy ass?'   

[dj181]

Say if one goes from pressing 100 pounds for 20 reps or so, to pressing 200 pounds for 20 reps or so, then he is gonna have bigger muscles, and I guaren-goddamn-tee it. Reps don't really matter so much, as long as one increases their training loads, and this is the fvcking key! PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD baby

This is true although with high reps cardiovascular exhaustion may occur before muscular exhaustion.

Give the guy a break, it probably took him 30 min just to type that

Agreed.  I work up to three sets of five, then drop the weight down a bit and do one or two sets of ten.

Yep. Everything after this is irrelevant.

very simple don't make it hard.  lift heavy=getting bigger  Lift a weight you can do barely 6 reps.  Once it gets easier raise the wieght.

Absolufuckingly... 

This physique was restored with light-heavy:

Big as a big... rock. But your butt is wider then your shoulder.

[SF1900]

Err...........I try not to make it too complicated. Everything is between 8-12 reps for me. If I can easily get close to 10-12 reps on my own, I just increase the weight until I struggle on the 9th or 10th one.

spot on, except for calves and forearm muscles they need a lot of reps and burn.

Why? Are there any peer reviewed journals that state that high reps stimulate better growth for forearms and calves as opposed to low reps? Please link me.

According to my experience, 9.3472 reps is the best for brutal size!

Setting the incline at a 43.748385 angle works best for me. Plus, the eccentric part of the lift is 5.3748493930 seconds.
