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.
If your goal is to build muscle, aim for 8 to 12 reps per set. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. When training your lower body, aim for 12-15 reps per set. The same goes for your abs. Whether you want size or strength, perform 3 to 5 sets. Rest for 60 to 90 minutes between sets.
