T-nation seems to be the only site who gets that most weight training freaks have attention disorder and need stuff structured with pictures and shot lines..

If you are an athlete and play sports like I play softball for ex., you can do all 3 of the rep ranges in one year by 4 months of endurance 12+ reps (during season like for example. Jan-May), then go into the muscle mass phase from the after season (off season) is over in like May to September and then go into the strength and power phase of 1-5 reps until Jan when season starts up again
I think thats a good way to put it if your an athlete because theres an off season, pre-season, and in-season. For in-season, you want to actually keep your strength. For off season, you want to regain what you might of lost and build more strength, and in the pre-season you want to train that weight for power and explosiveness.
great article. made me think smart about what reps to do at the right time and such. =)
