Sets

What's the normal number of sets you do each workout? Do you do more on specific days?

I almost always do 4 sets per exercise and do 3-4 exercises. Only do three exercises for biceps but still 4 sets each.

LEGS

squat 8 sets. 4 warup 4 heavy as you can 8-10 reps
leg press 3 sets
stiff deads 6 sets 2 warmup 4 heavy as you can 6-8 reps
leg curls 3 sets
calfs twice a week
day 1 5 sets 2 warup 3 heavyer 25 reps
day 2 6 sets 2 warmup 4 heavey as you can 10 reps
this is just an example of what i do so i try and keep 3-4 sets heavy as you can.

Usually 3 - 4 sets ... 8 - 10 Reps.

If I do some supersets:
6-8 reps for each "set"
So If I do a shoulder superset with dumbbells.
lateral raises X 6 - 11kg
lateral raises X 6 - 9kg
lateral raises X 6 - 7kg
Then
Front raises X 6 - 11kg
Front raises X 6 - 9kg
Front raises X 6 - 7kg

This SEEMS to be helping my shoulders bulk up... but I am no expert... this is just what I do.

If I do a drop set i.e. tricep push down:
6X80something
8Xtwo plates lower than 80something
10Xfour plates lower than 80something

Legs I will push for 4 sets of 10 reps or so.

GENERALLY 4 sets per exercise, 3-4 exercises... but its never a constant, i train to how my body feels, if something feels good, ill add another set, or drop sets etc. if i cant feel it so well, ill maybe only do like 2 sets then change it, same with reps, i go to how i feel and to failure, i find if i count reps, it distracts me from pushing hard as i feel by rep 8 or 10 etc, im thinking ok thats enough i can put it down or something like that.. all about how my body feels i guess?? haha im strange i know

go for it dude, its helped me imensly, like you say, to get that connection, by now you should generally know ur weights for reps, take something u know u can lift say 10 times, then just hit it and dnt count, focus on tha muscle group, iv been getting the huugest pumps like that lately (prob the dbol) but feels awsome
