What rep ranges do you prefer?

I don't see a problem with people doing high reps on isolation or accessory work. I mean bench, squat, dead, shoulder press and such. There's no need to pump 15+ reps of light weight. Compound lifts are the ones you need that get you strong. Use machines, cables for higher reps to really work that muscle. See my initial post in this thread. What I mean is too many people go to the gym to get the pump and not work hard.
Then there's DC protocol with 20 rep Widowmaker squats and 20 total rest pause reps on benches.

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Heavy and intensity are 2 different things
 
8-12 rep range...which is pretty classic for hypertrophy. It strikes a good balance between strength and size, but I’ve also dabbled in higher rep ranges like yours for certain muscle groups, and it’s definitely helped with growth and muscle fatigue.
 
I’m switched to doing push pull legs rotating low rep days (6-10) and high rep days (12-20) really liking it so far
