A rep means a completion of an exercise: for instance when doing a bench press ,a rep is allowing the weight to go down to your chest and lifting it up one time. When you do many reps in a row without resting you completed a set.

rep = repitation
set = a certain amount of reps
A repitaion is how many times you do an exercise. LIke 50 crunches = 50 reps and could be 2 sets of 25 reps.

A rep means how many times you're going to this exercise. A set is the sum of reps you're going to do.

rep is short for repetition, doing the same thing over and over. set is how many groups of reps you do. doing 3 sets of 12 reps means you do the same thing 36 times.

Rep = repetition
you will do 10 repetitions of an exercise per set, for instance
a set is a predetermined number of repetitions of the exercise before you take a rest.

Rep means repetitions, and you do so many "sets". You do 3 sets of 10 repetitions, that equals 30 in all.

Rep mean repetition (one complete movement). Set means the number of times you do the repetition (complete movement). For example: one crunch is one "rep" and if you do 40 crunches it is one "set" of 40 "reps" or two "sets" of 20 "reps"

How many of something you do, normaly you'll do 2 or 3 sets of twelve reps, which means you will do twelve,thats a set, take a break, than do another twelve reps, thats a set, and so on.

rep means REPITITIONS
like ..you do 10 reps of bench press...that means you count up to ten when doin it..
set means a group of reps...
like, you do 2 sets of sit-ups, 10 reps each...that means you do 10 sit-ups, rest for a little while...then do another 10. that's 2 sets of sit-ups.
got it?
