This is probably somewhere on this site but im new and havent really got familiarized yet so ill just ask this

what works better when trying to gain strength doing

a small amount of sets till ur burning up with a very difficult weight but w/also some control and w/out sacrificing form

or

alot of sets with a moderate weight were at the beggining its very easy for example lets say at 4 sets of 15 its starts getting dificult to finish out like at 13,14,15

from what i ve read and from what mahler also said in your other thread i d say just stick with compound movements (bench press, squats, deadlifts, rows, chins....(i think those are all examples of compound movements please correct me if im wrong))with low reps around 6-8.
