Just making sure but wouldnt you want to do something like 3x3 with 2-3 min rest between sets to build strength with no size ?

You'd need to do a 3x3 or 5x3 for the lift you focusing on that day. Then do a 3x5 or 5x5 for the supplementary lifts. Rest as long as you need. And start off low and work up slowly. Once it gets too high for 3 reps, switch to 1. Then max out about a week or 2 after you go down to 1 rep.

so higher weights, lower sets and reps?
I always thought that was the key to mass building (5x5?).
What ratio would you guys suggest for the opposite? (for size)

higher reps and less rest i guess... I rest very little and do 10 reps, and i'm on a cut but i feel like i'm getting bigger, but leaner

Alright. Thanks. Is that because of greater hypertrophy in higher rep ranges?

Optimal set / rep ranges and days between: For muscle size rep range is 9-12 / 3 -4 sets per / 4-7 days between For Strength (vs. power) the rep range is 6-8 / 3-4 sets per / 4-7 days between For power the rep range is 1-5 / 4-8 sets per / 2-3 days between Yes you do get some benefit of each type in the other types of lift!

Strength is moving maximal weight in a controlled fashion through a complete range of motion.
(8 reps of a 280 bench press moved in a rhythmic fashion.)
Power is the maximal recruitment of muscle fibers for short explosive movements.
(1 rep of a 500 bench performed in an explosive manner.)
