For gaining muscle what is better doing low rep 4-8 high weight or average reps 10-12 and watever weight you can?
When I was in my late teens I was very much into powerlifting and bodybuilding. My coaches stressed to me that to build muscle you need to lift heavy weight with low reps (4-6 reps) and to tone your muscles (shape them) you need to lift lighter weight with high reps (10-12 reps). So, I would train each body part twice per week (once heavy then once light). I got great results using this formula as it helped me get stronger and well defined.

Is it better to use more weight but less reps to build muscle?
It depends what you want to do. I use a cobination of it. I would so 4 sets of 8 and the last set that you do, you need to make sure that you can barely get it but you can get it. If your just trying to get cut but not big, then just do reps, but if your trying to get big and cut then you need to do alot of weight and about 8 reps to 10 reps and do 4 sets of them.
How many reps should you do with leg curls?
It depends on your desired results. For getting stronger and bigger, use a lot of weight and low repetition.

I would recommend 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps.

Is Muscle Building a Slow Process?
it depends on how much weight your working out with. if you are using a weight that is challenging and only you can do 3 to 5 reps you are using the right weight if you want strength.. you should use low reps because it stimulates your muscle fibers faster and more rapidly then higher reps. higher reps=more muscle endurance, and more definition. Lower reps= strength and muscle mass. you will gain strength quicker with weight that you can only do low reps.
