Ok, me and a mate always get into a arguement about his lifting.

You see, he lifts with moderate weight, but for higher reps, say 18-20reps. And he says that his strength is increasing because he can do the same weight but more reps.

I say to him, increase the weight and try for lower weights.

He says, but i am still getting stronger cos i can do more reps.

Now i always get stuck cos i have no comeback and i change the subject. so can someone help me with a comeback, i mean, if he can do more reps, is he still getting stronger even though he hasn't increased weight? what can i say to combat this?

Sure he is getting stronger; but probably not gaining as much size as he could with heavy weight & low reps. But then again different things work for different people...

tell him you are more powerful, and have an ability to be more explosive. He is lifting for endurance, and needs to do some research.
