Sets and Reps
What is a Set?
A set is a group of reps performed consecutively.
What is a rep?
A rep is one repetition of an exercise. This is the smallest unit of measurement for performing an exercise. A rep is to a set what a day is to a week.
What does 3 sets of 10 reps mean?
Do 10 reps. Rest. Do 10 reps. Rest. Do 10 reps. Done.
So you will do a set of 10 reps for three rounds total, resting for a specified amount of time between each set. When you record your weights during your workout you’ll want to record the weights you used for each set like this:
Set 1: 10 reps at 100lbs
Rest: 2 mins
Set 2: 10 reps at 110lbs
Rest: 2 mins
Set 3: 10 reps at 120 lbs
