size? or is it magazine stuff ive prob read somewhere?

I wouldnt consider 5 reps as 'lower reps'.
if you look at guys like joe defranco. His 'westside for skinny bastards' was all about packing on mass (along with the diet) as much as anything else and he has a lot of 3-5 rep sets in the program.

I still say your diet will have more impact than the routine as to whether you gain muscle.
