Sets x Reps

It depends on your fitness level and goals, but in general you should vary it over time, like every 6-8 weeks. Various "experts" recommend routines like 3x10, 5x5, 4x6, 10x3, 5x8 or pyramid (12,10,8,6,3) or reverse pyramid (3,6,8,10,12)..., but in the end you have to find what works for you (both physically and mentally). The best routine is the one you will do for the long term!
 
simple answer, keeping reps in the 4-6 range is ideal for increasing muscular strength.
5x5 would be a good place to start.
 
I tend to go with 4-8 for functional hypertrophy.

Occasionally I'll do 3x3x95% to exert the CNS over muscle, but not often.
 
Kool thanx alot guys, I've been making good "beginner gains", but I wanna make sure I'm working as efficient as possible.
