5 x 5 vs. 3 x 10

Uh...there are so many mixed opinions on this. Personally, I believe 4x10 to be bulking. 3/4 x 1 to be strenght.

But one rep max training is something different entirely.

You've got a pretty good idea, but for your strenght sets I'm thinking decresing it to about 3 or 4 sets of 5 reps.
 
I would say 6 and below is more for strength. 8-12 for size.

3 X 10 doesnt necessarily mean "bulking." Bulking has more to do with food and gaining the weight. I've put on alot of weight before, but I wasnt training at high reps.
 
strength: 6 - 8 x 3
hypertrophy: 3 x 6 - 8

you can get results from simply switching numbers basically...you can also;

hypertrophy: 10 x 3

you might say but the reps aren't high enough but with 1min rest the vol provides the hypertrophy where wt lifters only do 5 - 6 sets or something so they don't get big
