I am not sure but I was always told that 10reps to 4reps was what you need to do to get big. But the get big program is telling me that I need to do 16 to 8 reps what do you think?

Um you mean the 12 week advanced program? I haven't tried that one yet but I think I saw somewhere that definition and tone or something like that was 12-16 reps and size and strength was 8-10.. or something like that.. those seem wrong.. anyway... on your program is the first set 16 reps then it drops to 8?.. I get lot of exercises like that.. I always think of that first high rep set as a warmup set sort of.. but i'm not too sure if this is the same thing in the 12 week mass program.. I think rp might of already done that one.. maybe he can answer this better..

The mass programs sometimes have the first sets in the 16-20 rep range. That's fine. These are warm ups. I use moderate weights for these to make sure I am able to complete the number of reps. Then I go heavy when the rep. range falls. On your last set, you should be close to your max.

rpacheco, do you lift for mass or strength?

Mostly for mass...but strength comes with the territory.
