When I spoke to a trainer about this they told me I should do 3 sets of 10 because my goal was to define and strengthen my muscles. As far as weight I was told that it should be heavy enough where the last 2 in the each set of 10 is a little hard to do but not painful. I stay at that weight until it gets to easy then add weight.
