I was always taught that low weight with high reps is for weight loss and toning, whereas high weight and low reps is for strength training and bulking up.
If you're doing reps, try 3 sets of 5, with 30 seconds rest in between. That is a moderate pace.
eg. bicep curls 10 bicep curls = 10 reps.. these 10 reps is ONE SET. A SET is made up of a number of REPS
Taken directly from orton's website: QUICK RUNDOWN: I try to do Cardio on the treadmill at a slight incline for 30 minutes, 3 times a week. I train abdominals 3-5 times a week. Chest, Shoulders, Back, Legs, once a week. I do Biceps and Triceps on the same day once a week. I try to work my neck 3 times a week, and my forearms the same. Stretching is very important to me. I stretch before and after I train. TIME BETWEEN SETS FOR ALL MOVEMENTS IS 30-45 SECONDS DAY 1: Legs superset Thigh Extensions w/ Leg Curls : 4 sets - 12-20 reps. Box Squats : 5 sets - 12 reps. Straight Leg DLs : 4 sets-10 reps. Calve Raises : 10 sets - 8 - 15 reps DAY 2: Chest Incline BB Bench : 3 sets - 20 reps. Incline DB Bench : 5 sets - 6 reps.

DB Curls : 3sets - 10reps Alt. DB Hammer Curls : 3 sets - 8 reps BB Curls : 3 sets - 8 reps Cable Curls : 3 sets - 8 reps DIET : My diet is actually fairly simple. I stay away from carbs after 8pm or so. And as far as carbs go, I eat a limited amount, usually from mostly potatoes, oatmeal, and pancakes. I try to eat 250 grams of protein a day. About 60% of my protein intake comes from supplements. I like Isopure Meal Replacements, and Protein Powder. Nitro Tech is good as well. I also eat protein bars from Lean Body. Most of the protein I eat from food I get out of egg whites, steak, fish, chicken, milk, and cottage cheese. Sushi I eat around 3 times a week. If I have a sugar tooth, I like ice cream. It is hard to eat good on the road, but you can do it. There is no excuse to eat junk!

6 sets of 5 reps
You should always to a series of sets and never just a quick workout. Have short breaths in between and do as many reps as you can without stopping. Around 3 sets are recommended.
There is no difference between improper subset and equal sets. If A is an improper subset of B then A = B. For this reason, the term "improper subset" is rarely used.
Heavy Weight, Lots of Sets, and Low Reps.
Lighter weights, but more sets. Reps should be at a good pace.
