One study I read said you more effectively gain muscle mass and strength by lifting 4 times a week in the 4 sets of 3 to 5 rep range rather than the 8 to 10 range. You should basically be doing a weight that puts you just below failure or 90%1RM.
I read this article:

Pretty good one in my opinion. Like I said, my overall goal is to put on some muscle mass. Im not really going for a ton of strength training at a competition level. I think the 8-10 rep range would suit me for my goals.
