Yes rep range is important, but so is the level of the intensity of the workout. Rep range, percentage of 1RM and intensity are ultimately important to the goals of the training, whether it be for max strength, explosive strength, strength endurance or hypertrophy.

Hmmm, change your rep scheme every few weeks. My rep range is always mixed...but I try to mix up the focus...aim for high, mid, and low rep ranges.

Its also real important to change bar speed. I would say do speed work about 50% of the time...every other work out is easy to keep in mind. And try changing your rep scheme focus about every three to four weeks. Its probally better to change the rep scheme before you hit that Iron Wall and stop adapting.

Training log + controlled experimentation (i.e. keep all other variables static) = answer
