I completely disagree. I have worked with weights for the past 14 years. The more you strain your muscles (heavier weight) the more they will grow. The reason for this is because the muscles are being worked beyond their capacity and will grow larger to prepare for the next time they are worked that extremely again. If you work them with light weights more frequently (higher reps), they will not be simulated as much, therefor you will gain more definition, less size. This training is more for endurance, not brute strength. For example - if you bench press 120lbs 10 times for 5 sets, you will gain WAY more size and strength than bench pressing 50lbs 15 times for 8 sets. There is no doubt they will get bigger with light weights, but very minimal, especially compared to lifting heavy weights.
