@coolboymew I just do 3 sets of 8-10 reps for most exercises (for now) and when I hit that range of 8-10 for all 3 sets (so If I move the weight through the full range of motion around 8-10 times for 3 sets) then I add 5lbs to the bar and try to work my way up to 3 sets of 8-10 again for the next sessions.
Though if you can't add weight to the bar you can try increasing reps by like 2-5
so if you can do 3 sets of 8-10 on a session try doing 10-12 and 12-14 etc. on the next session. But after a while it won't really be increasing strength just endurance (I think on like 15-25 reps) with that weight so it's better to get heavier weights when needed (if strength is your goal).
For more dangerous exercises (ones where your shoulder or neck, back etc. are in compromised positions), it's better to not go all the way till you're tired to reduce injury so like the ones below, you should just slowly work your way up to your goal rep range (3-5, 8-10, 12-15)
For rest time in between sets, minimum is 2 minutes, but you can take as long as you need.
