The key is using weight that is appropriate the amounts of reps your. Doing 3 reps of a weight you could do 8 on is not going to give you strength and flying through a set of 10 and only stopping because you had no more fingers to count isn't going to bulge your muscles.

I'm more likely to feel sore after doing a 3x10 workout of something than if I go heavier and do it as a 5x5. Idk, why it ends up like that, but it means don't just equate the amount of soreness with how much gains you're going to get.

This. 

I think my biggest problem with not feeling sore was that I bailed out after I hit my rep range. For example, if I was trying to hit 6 reps, I was hitting that but wasn't hitting it close to failure. I was half assing it. 

I was basically saying, "Oh, I hit my 6 reps, good, im done." Even though I still had some left in me.

If im going to do the 6-10 rep range, then I need to be damn sure to stick in that rep range and go to failure IN THAT REP RANGE.
