me i usually do 4-5 sets per exercise, unless i get pissed off at myself for not doing how much i want for the amount of reps i want, so i punish myself by dropping the weight 5-10 lbs and pounding the shit out myself by repping out completely (i mean completely!). it's like a modified pyramid routine.

It depends on the muscle group. For most shoulders and chest and arms, I go with 3 sets (after warmups). My reps will go until failure each set. My weight stays the same for all three sets. I'll have a goal to where all three set reps added will be between 11 and 15. Arms are slightly hi8gher rep total.
Most legs I have one super hard work set (6-10 reps) and then I'll reduce weight and go for a set of 20.
Calves will be 1 work set of 12.
I realy dont lift that much, it's the weight that's getting me my mass. Everything I do (excluding warmups) are until failure.

I mix it up every workout.
I never do the exact same workout.
Sometimes I go really heavy for 6 - 8 reps.
Sometimes I go mid range of 8 - 10
Sometimes I go higher rep 12 - 15
Somtimes I do 3 sets
Sometimes I do 4-6
Sometimes I do 1-2 exercises per bodypart
Sometimes I do 4
Depends how I feel and I just like mixing it up. keeps things exciting
I'd get bored pretty fast doin' the same thing every workout

My first exercise will be 4-5 sets (including warm-ups) ranging from 6-20 reps.
After that, i do 1-2 balls out sets per exercise. More of the Dorian approach. Since employing this, it seems like my muscle density has gone up quite a bit.
I might do 3-4 sets for arms, but i usually stay pretty low. Prolly around 10-12 sets per bodypart.
