A lot of ppl say, if you want buff, WWE body like The Rock, you take HEAVY weights but LOW repetitions. If you want dancer or Olympic sprinter body, you take LESS weight but MORE repetitions. How true is this statement?

As true as the fact that masturbating a lot will give you hairy palms.

lol, but that would give a better impression and commits to memory better.

If you want to be Bruce Lee big, lift heavy.

If you want to be Brad Pitt big, lift heavy.

If you want to be The Rock big, lift heavy.

If you want to be Arnold big, lift heavy.

Point is, there are only 2 things you can do for your physique, build muscle and reduce bodyfat.

Huh? Then how do those dancers / body pump and The Rock get their body? If they have done the same workout, wouldnt they end up the same?

You stop going heavier when you reach your ideal physique. It's not like you lift heavy and in 3 months from nothing *POOF* Shiet. I'm the Rock, beech. No, it doesn't happen that way. Growth comes gradually.

-edit-

But of course you can always follow the routines of what certain people do to get their physiques and hope that there is enough strenous activity to stimulate muscle growth.
