How bad is it to substitute more weight for more reps? I'm

10-12 reps is still decent for training, just make sure to really contract your muscles and make it count.

On ss your progressive overload comes from adding weight.
Lower reps = more strength = adding weight fadter and more consistently = more prog overload = much faster gains

Highet reps trains more muscular endurance, and less muscular strength.
You will not add weight as quick.

If you train to lifta heavy weight a few times, you will unsurprisingly get better at lifting heavier weights for a few times.

If you train to lift not as heavy weight more times, you get better at lifting not as heavy weight more and more times.

Tl;dr: hold off on progressing with higher reps until you are intermediate and the noob gains slow

10-12 reps is technically fine for growth.

Not fine for a novice LP, least of all SS

>10-12 reps instead of 5
That's what you should be doing. High Volume always, everyday.

Stop with the bull shit. Keep the rest periods low (10 - 20 seconds Max). Make sure the muscle does the work.

I'm so fucking torn, as a noob some people say 3x5 some say 5x5 some say 3x8-12 wtf. My plan is 5x5 on compounds then 3x8-12 on accessories because on SS and SL you become centaur mode without accesories.

That's not really how it works, OP. If you want to understand why it is the way it is, you should just read Starting Strength, the book, not the wiki.

But if your goal is just to get tired, sure, whatever.

Keep the rest periods low! 10-20 seconds for isolation exercises. 1 minute for bench, squat, dead lift. Perfect form, with volume.

Body-weight and low-weight dumbbell routines require higher reps because you can't fine-tune the weight you lift the same way you can with barbells, and it's better than nothing.

HAHAHAHAHAH, guess how I know you don't lift.

I don't have access to a gym or money for home gym so for example I do 5 sets of 50 bodyweight squats will I still get big

Yeah I've seen that but squats are just so much more fun than shrimps or whatever can't I just do 250 squats a day instead

buy more weights. Do more total volume and higher reps. You'll still grow but eventually need more weight
