The magic rep range for skinny guys looking to build muscle is 6 to 8 reps. Just like you should be spending 80% of your time doing big, compound lifts. I believe 80% of your sets should be spent working in the 6 to 8 rep range.

Chest presses work your chest, shoulders, and triceps. Reps/sets for best results: If you're aiming to build strength, repeat for five to six reps, then three sets. Rest three minutes in between each set. If you're looking to increase muscle size, aim for three sets of 8 to 12 reps, 90 seconds rest in between.

Training for General Fitness When deciding on reps and sets, somewhere in the range eight to 15 repetitions for two to four sets will help you accomplish both. Choosing eight to 12 exercises is also a good idea, as is making sure to hit your lower and upper body, and your core.

Most powerlifters will train with anywhere from 1-8 reps, but when training specifically for strength, the general rep range is 3-5. Bodybuilders and people who want to add muscle to their backs usually stick to doing 8-12 deadlifts and sometimes more.

You can also train them more frequently than, say, your chest. Your pecs may not be meant to shoulder a heavy weight every day, but your calves? They keep you standing up on more than Tuesdays and Fridays, so aim to train them at least three days a week. Concentration with each rep is also key.

Lie on your back with your feet together and a dumbbell in each hand next to your thighs, palms up. Raise your legs and upper body off the floor. Sweep your arms above your head in an arc, and then back to your sides. That's 1 rep; do 3 sets of 10 to 20 reps.

Sets/Reps: For general strength and lower-body development, Benguche recommends 3–6 sets of 3–8 reps with moderate loading—70%–85% of your one-rep max (1RM). For developing more speed and power, he recommends lighter loads (55%–70% of 1RM) for 3–6 sets of 2–5 reps.

Typically people can lift 20–30% more in a dip or dip-like machine than they can in a bench press. This is partly mechanical advantage, partly the muscles involved. So roughly speaking, a bodyweight bench press should give you 5–10 reps of dips or a dip with about 20% of your bodyweight in additional weight.
