That depends on the day really. On my 6-8 hour day of back I will sometimes exceed 30 sets of back work. The majority of these sets are also to failure. What may be excessive to one person may be nothing to another. Its all relative. Just as someone can progress in the amount of weight and reps they use, it is also possible to progress in the amount of training you can handle. You build a tolerance over time, if you train enough, atleast I have. I gained the bulk of my size doing 12 sets for smaller body parts and 15 sets for legs and back. Between 12-15 reps. Where Im at now, I can go to failure every set and still keep going for a long time. So it takes alot more for me to damage the fibers. My routine now, is alot more volume and alot heavier. The rest between sets varies also. On deadlift or chest days it can be 20 minutes. Im in no rush, but I do have an amount of work I want to complete whenever I enter the gym. I give myself enough time until Im ready to max out. On days like arms and shoulders, Ill move pretty fast sometimes. Other times Ill take 2-3 minutes between sets. depending on how I feel.
