For weightlifting, is there such thing as too many sets/reps?

I just want to be stronger, not looking into bulking or what nots...

Example, for deadlifts, I do 60kg - 4 sets, 10 reps. For fifth set, I will add 10kg and do till fail.

Or should I do it differently? Go heavier, less reps?

If you want to be stronger then you should do lower reps range but with heavier weights and keep doing them with progressive overload. That is how you can get stronger.

progressive overload in each sets? or session(day)?

or any way is fine, as long as progressively i'm going heavier (with correct form of course.)

btw, when having DOMs, do you guys still workout the same muscles with same intensity or go lighter? or don't at all but focus other muscle group instead?

Each session (day).

It depends. For beginners, better to rest first and focus on other muscle groups. How many days of DOMs are you talking about?

At least 3. Try to go for 4 or more if you can.
