did the OP say 5 sets of 3? if so i misread it as 3 sets of 5, sorry.
yes i did say that i personally felt a beginner looking for size and/or strength would probably do better with sets of 5 reps than 10, i think it's as good a starting point as any and better than most. that doesnt mean i think those are the only 2 choices they have though.
i dont think 5's represent a mythical marriage of intensity and volume but i do think it represents a pretty productive range for both in the beginner stage. and it gives enough reps to get some quality time under the bar but not so many per set that form will crap out like it more likely would doing 10's.
believe me i have no intention of getting into a theoretical debate with you as i will readily concede i am WAY out of my league knowledge-wise and if someone said to me: Eric refuted every single statment you made, i would say then listen to what he says not me!
