While generalizations are often misleading, for adding mass to the major bodyparts the following ranges seem to work best for most people: Chest & Back = 5-8 Reps / Set Arms & Shoulders = 6-10 Reps / Set Quads & Hamstrings = 8-15 Reps / Set Calves = 12-20 Reps / Set Again, as always it’s important to work variation into your training program. In particular, I like to periodically throw in some high rep training.
