Never.
Never do more than 6 reps on a work set. If you ever actually hit #5 or 6 without help, then you need more weight.

Whoever told you that is a moron. Don't ever listen to another word they say.

Uhh unless you're going for pure look. Body builders do sets of 10-15 quite often.

where do you workout

A coworker of mine has been doing the workout from LL Cool J's Platinum Workout. It has you doing 15 rep circuits. You do 15 chest reps, then do 15 bicep, etc. with minimal wait time in-between. He said it got his heart rate going pretty well. It emphasizes cutting weight and getting toned rather than overall strength training. You pick a weight that you can barely do 15 times.

I know plenty of bodybuilders who lift more like powerlifters, using low reps and high weight and hardly ever do more than 6-8 reps.

The difference with them is that they typically do a wider variety of movements.

High reps can lead to injury.

To the OP - the best way to build muscle is to concentrate on compound movements - squats, deadlifts, bench press, t-bar rows/ bent rows, etc.

Leave all that dumb shit like dumbell flyes to the sissyboys who get dressed up in fancy workout clothes to go to the gym to impress each other.

depends on what your goals are. you don't necessarily ever have to do low weight/high reps. if you're trying to gain size and get cut at the same time, keep doing what you're doing with lifting and be very strict on your diet. high protein, low carbs, low sodium and low sugar
