I think B) is better for muscle growth, honestly.

A) is the classic hypertrophy range!

I feel like option C could be a good choice since it has higher reps, but 60% 1 RM seems low for someone already training for 6 months.

I practiced a similar question where 4-6 sets were emphasized for hypertrophy, so I’m leaning towards option A, but I’m not entirely sure about the percentage.

I think option B sounds familiar because it mentions 10-15 reps, which is often recommended for building size, but I’m not confident about the set range.

I remember that for hypertrophy, the common range is usually 6-12 reps, but I'm not sure if 85% 1 RM is too heavy for that.
