Personally i would say 8-10 reps and 3-4 sets....... others may think differently though

- Pick compound exercises to pack on mass first. These include squats, deadlifts, SLDLs, Bench Presses, military presses, and the like. Work on one bodypart a week (a 4 or 5 day split) and apart from compound exercises, fill in the gap with DB exercises to work the stabilizing muscles as well.

Stick to 9-12 sets for big body parts (chest, legs, back) and 6-9 sets for smaller ones (bis, tris, shoulders). Stay within the 8-10 rep range and make sure the last rep of every set is completed with so much difficulty that you can't do another good rep solo.

see how that works for you
