Then I'd aim for medium number of reps with slightly heavier weights. It'll save your joints so you don't get there (old age) quicker. Sounds like you're doing hippy crazy endurance level of reps.
[usual Internet disclaimer, I don't know what you're actually doing and everyone is different.]
4ish sets of about 12ish reps up to 60-80% of 2-3 exercises per major body part (1-2 for minors/ancillary /supporting)
If you're doing more, ask yourself why. If you're not training for a comp or a strength or endurance athlete, are you ego lifting...
RSI, tennis/golf elbow and such is repetitive low weight injuries.
Though others on here might have a better understanding than me.

I'm just looking to add muscle bulk before I get so old that it's too late, and look good with my shirt off when on holiday.
