2 sets

[Scott Stevenson]

isn't the goal to get stronger. bigger???

so 2 sets of 315 for 10-12 rps short of failure will actually induce more growth than 1 set of 315 x 10 and 1 of 365 x 8??

Yes, that's the goal, of course.

Which of those two options would get you stronger?... Do you find that strength gains come along with size gains?...

Do you feel you're lacking in strength relative to size, i.e., would getting stronger using a lower rep range be a better path for you for gaining size, or do you personally do better with higher reps?...

Does the exercise you're doing matter for the reps you'll use, and the mind-muscle connection? For instance, do you find that using a higher rep range for lat pulldowns makes for a better stimulus, but rack deads work better for strength and size gains in a lower range...

Maybe, also, you could try[/quote], in successive Blasts, doing a "back-off" style (reducing the load) strategy for one Blast and in the next Blast see if you prefer to keep load higher (same for each set) and thus work more so on the loading / mechanical stress aspect of those Loading sets.
