You can adjust the number of sets and reps depending on your fitness level and goals. If you are new to strength training, start with 2 sets of 10-12 reps for each exercise. As you get stronger, you can increase the number of sets and/or reps.
You can also add more exercises to your workout routine, such as dips and pull-ups. However, be sure to listen to your body and rest when you need to.
