ouz, you decrease the reps because you are trying to get bigger right? most all the guys i talk to tell me that, but i swear ive heard for girls its supposed to be opposite...can anyone confirm this? I need to go to the gym right now, im doing arms, back and abs again today, i will list those workouts when i get home..i need to look and see what the machines are called because i have no clue on most of the arm ones

Yeah. General rule is low reps and high weight will cause you to get bigger faster. High reps with a lower weight is better for toning.

I try to mix it up a bit. I want to maintain a medium build but defined. I'm not out to get huge or anything like that.
