I'll add that working out closer to your max with lower reps is usually better for sheer strength.

Periodization.
If you want to squat more, you squat. If you want to bench more, you bench.
It's all about your periodization I.E. structuring and manipulation of your sets, reps and weight throughout a training cycle.

When I am training for strength, i have my warm up sets (one or two sets of 15-20 reps). Then I jump right into my heavy sets (getting 5-6 reps). I stay at that heavy weight for the remainder of the exercise. For squats for instance. I'll do two sets at 135. Then I'll bump up to 405 and do 4-5 sets of 5-6 reps a piece. If I get more, I'll bump the weight up next week. But I stay at that weight this week. I do the same for bench and deads. Works for me!
