What is the Optimum # of sets per each muscle group?

[Squaggleboggin]

I do three warm up sets and three working sets. High intensity, low volume all the way.

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

Chest 8, followed by triceps 5
Latts 10-12 followed by biceps 6
Quads 6 calves 3
Hamstrings 6
Traps 4
Deltoids 10

Would it be fine if i did a six day routine

Day 1 chest/triceps
Day2 Back/Biceps
Day3 rest
Day 4 Shoulder
Day5 Legs
Day6 rest
and then start over or do i really need that extra day of rest, i do consume plenty of protein daily, also take creatine, 2-3 shakes of ON whey, L-glutamine, and multi's along with vitamin B-100

I highly recommend taking the extra day of rest. It's up to you though. I think you're more likely to stick with a routine for the long haul if you allow yourself more rest.

If you have the stand point that you need to do around 8 sets for chest and 10 sets for delts (which are getting much more then 10 sets due to benching rowing etc), why do you only do 6 for quads? which are much bigger then the pecs as the rib cage makes up most of the chests size.
