ive done a bit of reading on this, and looking at other poeple's training routines to try and figure out a formula...but i know it really depends on "what works best for you". i read on t-mag that you should limit it to 12 sets per workout irrespective of number of muscles worked, at a 8-12 rep range. A newbie non-jiucer posted a message on the anabolic board that he was told to do 9 sets per muscle and he was working two muscle groups per workout....and he was told by the other guys that he wasn't doing nearly enough.
Currently im on a split routine:
chest/triceps
back/biceps
shoulders
legs

abs twice a week.
how many sets should i be doing per muscle group or per workout? ive been told to keep the gym sessions to 60-75mins max. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I do two working sets per excersise, and no more than two excersises per bodypart, the exception being back when i do chins,rows and deadlift.6-10 reps to absolute failure and the last set with either negatives or partial reps.

I do 3-4 sets on a normal lifting day, but if I have a game that day or the day after I do 1 set or medium weight. It works the body part, but doesn't make it sore for the game.
