for size, it's the diet that determines it. If you eat like chicken, no matter how many reps you do, you wont grow big.
High rep moderate weight is for endurance Low rep high weight is for strength
Do correct me if i'm wrong.

First of all, weight training with whatever reps range will grow those muscles be it 3x12 or 2x20 or 5x5. A lower reps (3-5) routine is focused more towards strength, medium reps (5-8) for mass and high reps (8-12) for hypertrophy.
But all those training would be useless if one didn't ensure that he has a good diet. A proper diet would gives the body enough nutrition for muscle recovery hence bigger muscles.
