imo without overtraining
Small muscle groups (biceps, triceps, traps, deltoids)- 8 sets max
Large muscle groups (back, chest, legs)- 12 sets max
Abs around 6-8 sets a week should do nicely
imo without overtraining

As said, many variables, but....
I aim for 3-5 sets per exercise, using 2 exercises per bodypart.
