Six sets of four reps each. But that's a really weird routine. I recommend 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps for most people.

Three sets of Five reps (except the deadlift which one set of five is good, and the power clean, which I can't do anyways.) http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:The_Program

Thats more of a beginner program. Also its very strength focused. I started with something similar but later shifted to slightly higher reps and splits. More size for less work.
