Bodybuilding sets and reps

Sets and reps combo are one of the key things needed to successfully build muscles in bodybuilding. We must first understand sets and reps.
A set is a group of reps done one after the other. A rep is one complete lift of the weight or completed movement.

There is usually a 1 to 2 minute rest between sets. For building more muscle mass, the best set and rep combo is 6 to 8 reps and with the final rep being very hard to lift.
The amounts of sets done varies between type of exercises, but the norm is 3 sets per body part. That is enough to gain muscle growth. The best set to rep combo for more muscle definition would be 8 to 12 reps using lighter weights.
This is done for a more cut look, rather than mass.
For each time you exercise 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps for each body part is all that is required for building mass. Sticking with the compound exercise for beginners such as squats for legs, barbell curls for biceps, dips for triceps and bench press for chest, is all you need when beginning.
You will find that this is enough to build muscle within the first 3 weeks after starting out. Remember, set and reps are important but also only part of the  whole process which includes eating lots of proteins and carbs. Carbs for energy and protein for muscle growth. Muscles grow during rest time when the muscle tissues repair themselves.

In order to find the right weight amounts so that the final rep is very hard, you will have to use some trial and error with different weight amounts.
