Depends on who I'm working out with and what we're working on. I'm mostly relying on other people's experience as I can see the results of what they've been doing.

Example 1:
3 superset exercises(flat bench dumbbells', flys, curls) 4 sets total, 1min rest in between - 1st(warmup) - 15 reps, 2nd(working) 10-12reps, 3rd(max) 8-10reps, 4th(drop to warmup weight) - 8-10reps;

Example 2:
1 exercise(lat pulldown), 4 sets total, 2-3min rest in between - 10-12reps

Example 3:
1 exercise(flat bench), 4 sets total, 3-4min rest in between - 6-8reps, 1st(super light warm up. ie 55lbs) 2-4th(max weight ie 100lbs)

The first example is training with a buddy who's been training since he was 12, kind of a gymbro approach but solid progress in terms of building endurance

The second example is with someone who's has a more scientific approach and training for size/aesthetic

Third example is with my trainer who's is as scientific as it gets and primarily trains athletes.


When it comes to working out, I'm pretty much a noob and the reason I ended up in the gym in the first place, was because it was suggested by my physio to help rehab my back injuries.
