Both. I feel like heavier weights build muscle, and light helps with definition. I'll do a month or so of heavy, then a month or so of light.

Me, HEAVY weights. Nothing video based at all. Not even STS. I'm talking squatting 200+ deadlifting 240+ bench pressing 120lbs.
Its all diet related. I eat far in excess for a few weeks/months, lift as heavy as I can, then go on a cut for a few months, still lifting heavy and lose the fat and lean out. Doing a bulk now, even though I'm overweight. Trying to put on as much muscle as I can, then in about Feb/Mar, I'll cut my calories by 200-300 and lean out some. I did that a couple years ago, and dropped 2 pant sizes but only 10lbs.

Like others, I do enjoy light, moderate-heavy & true heavy/power and all are good for me. I have been avoiding super high rep more recently as it seems to cause repetitive stress discomforts. I seem to be able to focus much better and stabilize my joints more smoothly when the weight bearing feels more "weighed down" if that makes any sense. For example, performing a kettlebell turkish get-up with a 'lightish' bell? I feel like my ankles are flailing all over the place and I have limited control over my core and shoulders. I'm not sure why this is ....perhaps just the way I'm built or something. lol. The downside of going heavier is that I end up craving sugar which I ought to be moderating more.
