In 30 years I have encountered very few (one or two) strength programs that advocate reps above 20 and most advocate no more than 15 reps. (I am not including warm up sets — I am only referring to «work sets», those sets done to elicit a training response, not the sets done to «warm» the muscles by doing a high rep set and a low intensity of effort.)

Top - notch editorial, graphic and web talent is out there by the truckload, often underpaid and underemployed — recruit it and retain it with the same intensity of effort you pour into finding associates who'll be gone in less than three years. (law21.ca)
And at the core of this intensity of effort is a quality that is genetic and inborn — not talent or brilliance, which must be developed, but rather a deep and powerful inclination toward a particular subject.» (entrepreneur.com)
