I think we need to define our idea of what "low reps" and "high reps" mean. You can hypertrophy away on "high reps". It may not be functional mass, but it sure wouldn't meet your goals (this BMI shit is the pits).

However you could certainly do something like Hardgain's doing but just to be clear if the reps are low enough you can realize substantial strength gains without seeing hardly any hypertrophy (at first at least).

I'm not saying you should do strength. What hardgain is suggesting will be better for getting you fat down while preserving muscle mass like he said. This is just an FYI or let's be clear kind of thing.
