How many reps and sets should I do?

For most goals, sets of 6 to 12 repetitions work well, with two to four sets per exercise. For strength, heavier sets of 3 to 6 are useful; for endurance and beginners learning a movement, lighter 12 to 15 reps are fine.

What matters more than the number is effort: finish each set with roughly one to three reps left in the tank. If a set feels easy, the weight or the difficulty needs to go up.
