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.
