Depends in large part on what your goal is. Strength? Toning? Definition? Preparing for work? Sports? Rehab?

Generally you will get good results if you lift to failure (that is, you likely couldn't do another rep) after 8 reps or so.

Allow enough time after working a set of muscles for healing before working those muscles again.

Change the exercises you do for a particular set of muscles every couple of weeks or so.

Ensure you are eating a good diet.

There are many ways to work muscles for strength and size, this is one of them.
