Today was a quick basic workout. If I'm tight on time I use a 5 sets x 8 reps method, 40 total reps. The most important aspect is the choosing of the weight. Guess or build up to a resistance (weight) that is challenging on the 8th rep. Then stay at that weight for the successive sets. You may fatigue and it may be challenging but that's the most important aspect. The constant challenge to the muscle.
