Most people have a certain rep range they stick to when training for size
Question is, is it possible for different bodyparts to have a different rep range to stimulate hypertrophy?
An example would be: I find it best to hit the 6-8 rep range when doing chest training. Any higher and i would be fatiguing it rather than overloading it. However, when I employ this range for, say, shoulders, i find it less effective than doing 10-12 reps
So to stick to a certain rep range for the entire bodypart wouldnt beneficial as mixing it up.
Or am i just imagining it?

Certain bodyparts benefit from different amounts of reps. Generally slow twitch muscles like calves grow better from really high reps while fast twitch muscles like triceps benefit from a medium amount of reps like 6-12ish.
