hey, i know this alot, i was in football

well a rep is one time for doing the thing ur doing
like if u were bench pressing, when u get it down to ur chest and up
thats one rep, what is short for repetition

and a set is how many reps you do

so if you do 5 sets of 8 reps

you do 40 reps total

best answer please

okay here is a simpla way of how to answer this question
a rep is how many (lets say) jumping jacks you do!. lets say u did 50 jumping jacks straight, once u take a break those 50 jumping jacks you just did is considered 1 set of jumping jacks!. after your break you decide to do 50 more, after those you take a break again, that means u did 2 sets of 50 jumping jacks
hoped it helped =D

a rep is one lift, a set is the collection of reps you do!.!.!.
if you lift 150 lbs one time that is one (rep)!.
if you lift 150 lbs 10 times then you completed a (set) of 10 (reps)!.
if you do 3 (sets) of 10 (reps) then you completed a total of 30 (reps)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Rep is the number of repetitions you do in a row!. Say 10 pushups in a row!. Set is a group of reps!. so 5 sets of 10 pushups would be 10 pushups in a row, take a break ten more, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A rep is one repetition of a movement!.!.a set is a given number of reps!. 3 sets of 10 is 10 reps per set with three sets giving you a total of 30 reps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

"Rep" is your reputation at your gym!. The "set" is the number of buddies you have around you at any given time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

a "Rep" is a "Repetition!."
Do enough "Reps," and you get a "Set!."

Example) Jonny did 3 Sets of 12 Reps!.
AKA - Jonny did 36 RepsWww@Answer-Health@Com

A rep is one repitition and a set is multiple reps!. So if you do 3 sets of 10 reps, you did 30!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
