Doing over 15 is a waste of time. And isnt strong lifts 3X5 for most things?
Stronglifts starts off at 5 sets of 5 reps.
15 reps is for endurance and muscle tone, you won't get big in a hurry but it does give you a good muscle pump.
One of my previous programmes was a split system 6 days per week that went something like:
2 days 5 sets of 13-15, the next two days 5 sets of 8-10, the next two days 5 sets of 5-7 after a couple of weeks it went down to 4 sets with more weight and started on 8-10 then 5-7 and finished 3-5, then went down to 3 sets starting again at 13-15.
It wasn't too bad.
