8-10 reps when I'm trying to build mass, 12-15 when I'm trying to drop a few pounds. I tend to turn my lifting into a semi-cardio session when I'm trying to drop a few pounds.

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?

What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
My budget is tight, so I concentrate on the least expensive foods possible.
I eat two granola bars on my way to the gym every morning, with a bottled water to wash them down.
Around 9am, I try to eat 20 grams of protein, in one form or another.
Lunch, once again, I try to eat a good amount of protein, and keep carbs to a minimum, but not cut them out entirely.
Dinner, eat as much protein as possible. I try to eat an extra portion of steak or chicken.My budget is tight, so I concentrate on the least expensive foods possible.

So I entered a % weight loss contest at work with 2 other guys. Probably a dumb move being I'm the smallest in the competition. One guy is 6'7" and 294lbs, the other is 5'11" and 212lbs. I'm 5'8" and 180lbs. So, I really have my work cut out for me. I figured if I can push myself...
Here's the workout programmed I designed for myself. I plan on mixing abs in every day. I always do three sets of each exercise, with 8-10 reps each set.
Monday Biceps/Back
dumbell curls
hammer curls
dumbbell/bar bell row
pull downs
ez bar curls
pull ups
Russian Twists
