You think it might be a little ridiculous if you say "excuse me but how much do I put on this bar" or "how many times should I squat this." Don't worry you and majority of gym goers are still confused about how many reps or how much weight they should put on the bar. 

High reps or high weight? When resistance training, most people train for specific goals/reasons. Whether it be to gain mass, rip up, strength or endurance. The reps vs. weights  dynamic usage is essential to achieving these goals. For example, when wanting to rip up, one would want to lift light weight but execute high reps. Reps should range from 12-18 at a low weight. On the other hand, gaining mass is the exact opposite regime. In order to gain mass and strength, one should perform high weight- low to medium reps. The rep range should be between 5-10, while the set amount of weight should range between 85%-90% of one’s maximal strength.
