How many reps per set?!
Question: How many reps per set?
On benching, shoulder pressing, lats, and bicep curls?
Answers:
The other answers are wrong!
Why?!
There is an important piece of info missing... What are your fitness goals?
Maintain weight, gain weight, or lose fat?
Build muscle mass?
Lift more weight?
Add more explosiveness to sport/athletic ability?
Each goal requires a specific type of training.
Here's a quick breakdown:
+ 5-8sets of 3-5reps = power (increase strength)
+ 5-6sets of 8-12reps = hypertrophy (muscle growth)
+ 3-5sets of 12+ reps = endurance (slight muscle growth but mainly for fat loss)
Also, give 100% each set. If you're aiming for 10 reps and you hit rep #10 with ease then you are lifting heavy enough!
Switch your training methods periodically to avoid plateaus...
Ex// 5-6sets of 8-12reps for 3 weeks
8sets of 5reps for 1 week
Good luck and train hard!

It appears you probably just do alot of cardio and very little if any resistance training. Losing wieght fast is not a healthy way to lose wieght. Know if you want to lose fat and keep it off you must increase lean muscle mass. But to answer your question. You can lose wieght fast but it will most likely be water weight and come right back. I can tell you how if you interested. Hit me up on my youtube account

Normally we use 12 reps per set. For more information on training, here's a website that helps for me.

I tend to go for less at a higher weight (so 5-8 at my max weight for the session performing 3 sets), but I start low as a warm up rather than diving directly into the max.
If you can do more than 15 then it's not heavy enough.
So you should be aiming for 15 at a real push with the right weight.
