thats not true. 6 reps is where mass gaining begins, 5 is for strength. and i was trying to just pump as much blood into my legs as possible after my full workout.

Oh no... here we go again.

If you're referring to the stretching thing not being true, then you need to read the stretching articles on the site.

There is no magic number where 'strength' changes to 'mass'. It could be 5, could be 6, could be 7....definitely not 6 and that's it. And 5 being for strength... What about a 5x5 compared to a 1x6? Which one is more for 'strength' and which is 'mass'? And the way you had your squatting set up, you weren't doing much for strength by doing that pyramid setup. Unless you purposely loaded less weight on the bar after your single, you showed a decrease in strength. You did 10lbs less for your second double, 20 less for your triple and 50 less for your 5 rep set.

There was already a big discussion on pumping blood into your muscles on here. I think Eric summed up the concept of it quite nicely.

I'm not trying to pick on you or anything and I'm sorry if you felt like I did that, but you asked a question and I'm just trying to impart some of my knowledge to you.

And a great workout involves using the Shift key to make capital letters. It's an often overlooked way of working the forearms.
