    I consider a set with more than 10 reps an aerobic workout, rather than an anaerobic workout.... try 2-3 sets per exercise, with 8-6 reps per set...

    gardo is completely correct,

    if your bulking go for 6-8 reps at about 3-4 sets depending on how fast you go

    no workout should exceed a time limit of 50 min. becuz your body is on a time limit agianst cortisol which is secreted by the pancrease 45-60 min. after a workout this hormone is very catabolic if your workout exceeds 50 min. cut it back

    the only time you need to do 5x12-15 is if your cutting hence it can burn the hell outa calories and make you more define
    the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exsist
