About our Literacy Instruction Program. Literacy abilities are the foundation of contemporary K-12 schooling and for most current careers, yet many students struggle to attain the expected literacy benchmarks.
Sets and reps are the terms used to describe the number of times you perform an exercise. A rep is the number of times you perform a specific exercise, and a set is the number of cycles of reps that you complete. For example, suppose you complete 15 reps of a bench press.
Reps (short for ârepetitionsâ) are the number of times you move a weight from point A to point B during a set of an exercise. The lighter the weight, the more reps you will be able to lift it for. The heavier the weight, the fewer reps youâll be able to lift it for. Obvious, I know. But, as you can see, reps and intensity go hand in hand most of the time. Meaningâ¦. 1  The more reps you can lift a weight for = the lower your training intensity is. 2  The fewer reps you can lift a weight for = the higher your training intensity is.
