I find that my way,I am better able to concentrate on my form which allows me to lift better What do you think..Is there pros and cons to each?

Having said that I think it also depends on what you are wanting to do. One person may want to put on more muscle and one person may want to say more aerobic while doing weights too.

There are some standards that are pretty much percieved conventional wisdom, i.e..lower reps heavy weights less sets for power/strngth/mass gain, and higher sets/frequency while maintaining heavy weight as possible to tax the muscle. -------------- Strength and Honor!
