Answer 1

For example.3 sets of 10 reps means this...let's say your doing bench press.find a weight where you will get tired on the last lift!

okay..now for the reps & sets.

go on the bench,make sure for spotter.then lift the weight up 10 times...rest...now that's one set...now after rest,lift 10 times again...rest.that's 2 sets.do it until u achieve your goal.(in this case 3 sets)

have any other questions email me

Answer 2

say if you were doing sit-ups and you wanted to do 3 sets of 10 reps then it means you do 10 sit ups on 3 diffrent occasions.. it's hard to explain reli lol

Answer 3

rep is short for repetition. 10reps means you would repeat an exercise 10 times without stopping.

after you did the 10 you have completed a set

you take a break to recover or to add or decrease weight

and the you do another 10 repetitions

usually the 1st. set is done with a warmup weight

the 2nd set is done with a heavier weight

and the 3rd set is done with a weight that is close to the maximum poundage that a person can do for 10 reps.
