well that is true Diane, if you are going for muscular endurance with weights you would be in the 15+ rep range. But you can build enducrance ans strength simultaneously as the article suggest by doing body weight exercises...i.e push up, pull ups etc. I think these 2 are excellent additions to anyones workout. I started off doing the girl push ups and can now do the regular ones without a problem..pullups are another story...but I am working on those. It is just variety, I think that it is good to vary your rep schemes, especially for body parts...I know Built and my self had had some good results throwing in the higher rep sets for legs for instance.
I am with you on stretching...I used to do yoga, but it is realy hard actually and i decided to focus more on lifting, but I only stretch during or a little afterwards...i have read many conflicitng reports on the benefits of it anyway.
