Did the Bataan Memorial Marathon Sunday. Civilian -Heavy....rucked a 39 lb (they weighed it) pack for 26.2 scenic miles through the New Mexico mountains. Came in 82nd, my buddy was 9th overall - he seriously tore that thing up. Hardest race I've ever been in, nothing even comes close. Beautiful weather, scenery, I highly recommend fo anyone looking for a unique marathon/half marathon adventure. They have heavy (with pack) or light (no pack) divisions. Buyer beware - that pack really starts to suck by the time you're hallway through.

The workout was a double down drop set.
I.e.
I did a few sets, building up to a comfortable 5 rep set. Them, each time I drop weight, I double the reps, regardless of the number of sets. For instance, the last weight on low row was 80lbs at 160 reps and it took 14 sets to hit the reps.

I'm too old for this crap anyway, but I try to pump some iron a few times a week to maintain strength. Watching some trainers, I see a lot of seemingly knowledgeable guys say too many reps is bad, bad, bad.

What are your goals, and how do those high reps help you?

Anyone who says that any one style is bad, likely has no clue what they're talking about.
As long as your form isn't terrible, it all has uses.
With the extremely high rep stuff, there is a minimal risk of rhabdomyolysis, but that tends to present in vegetarians in vegans more than in normal people.
I train to be able to lift heavy shit, a shit load of times.

Technically yesterday, but I capped off my weekday workouts this week with a 5 mile conditioning run. Just a consistent, nonstop 5 miles at 8mph, in 37:30 minutes. Normally stop conditioning runs at 4 miles but I think it's time to increase. Generated a buttload of sweat though, that's for sure.

@1776 - When you do three exercises like this, do you do all sets of exercise one, then move on to exercise two, do all sets, then on to three? Or do you do more of a "circuit" type routine?

I'm running miles as usual, which does not lend itself to "bulk" muscle. I'm a slim muscular guy, but I have lost some mass since I started running so much. (and time ain't on my side) I want to maintain my muscle with the limited time to work out I have.

Any suggestions you have would be appreciated. (I don't want to end up looking like those androgynous freaks you see at marathons so often)
