That matches what I've been told by various personal trainers. 6-8 reps if focusing on strength, ~12 for all round, and 16-18 for size/endurance. Do three sets, weight should be enough that the last couple of reps on the first set are a bit of a struggle. Subsequent sets just push through as far as you can.
This is a common myth that came out of nowhere and has been debunked.
1-5 reps for strength. 5-30 reps for hypertrophy.
Your trainers clearly never read Starting Strength.
these days your better of not reading that, probably. bunch of outdated and bad advice coming from that corner.
No idea, I certainly haven't. This was decades ago, though, so it's entirely possible that established best practice has changed.
