I'more endomorphic so my reps are kinda crazy leg day squats 5 sets( not counting warm up)usually 5x5 leg press 5x10 box deadlifts 3x8 hamstings( one excercise curls or stiff legged) 3x10 lunges or step ups( tell a good burn) this i can get done in a hour or hour in a half depeing how my knees are feeling if your trying to burn more calores, less rest if your trying to gain strenght and size, rest more often so your at maximal strenghth. -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

But am thinking of going to 4 sets with same time constraints, thinking this is another way of increasing the overall load/resistance in a session. I also like drop setting and partials from time to time. But it's all opinion more than science as we can all prove why we do our thing with facts and figures- The winner will always be how you feel about it. But 8 to 12 week cycles of change seem popular all over

Pick a ruotine, try it for a few weeks, switch the rep range, or snumber of sets for a few weeks. This will also depend on how many bodyparts you are working, if you are trying to bring up a lagging bodypart, different things. -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.
