Mate that's a myth, the most effective use of free weights is with high weight and low reps. Nutrition and diet is the main factor on whether or not you get bigger. Eat more calories a day than required with a decent amount of protein (2g per Kg of body weight) and you will get bigger. However eat less than required with the same protein and you wont, you can only get out what you put in. This is why you do high weight as it's proven to make you stronger rather than piddly weights with hundreds of reps, which is pointless.
