How do muscles develop if you work for a shitload of reps instead of weight?
Right now my OHP max is 135x5.
How will my arms develop if I decided to work at it until I can do 135x100?
Would my arms get huge?
Really dense but no size gain?

you will finally be kicked out of the gym
>what is muscular endurance
You tell me
according to the studies listed on strengtheory - hypertrophy increases as volume increases irrespective of what rep-range you use. If volume stays the same 135 x 100 or 1350 x 10 will have the same hypertrophy effect.
however, strength is limited to small rep-ranges - so you won't reach the strength levels of 1350 x 10 lifting 135 x 100.
Just what it sounds like. Ability of muscle to endure. Rep ranges go low to high; strength, hypertrophy, endurance.
according to the studies referenced on the strengtheory website rep ranges make no difference to hypertrophy - only volume matters.
There has to be a fall off point though. Or else we could all get super jacked off bodyweight alone.
They would get huge.

there's someone who posts here now and again who is somewhere around 6'0 200lbs (I'd estimate 15%bf) and maintaining it with pushups, pullups, one-leg squats etc. - I asked him if he does a lot of volume and he said yeah a ton and showed his routine which was something like 500 squat jumps then 300 one-leg squats (I don't remember the exact but it was in the hundreds for multiple exercises for each muscle group).
