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.
Drop sets is a technique where you drop the weight each time you do an extra set. For example, let's say I'm doing the seated barbell shoulder press with 185 pounds on the bar. I'd first do a set of 8 repetitions and rack the weight. I'd take 25 pounds off the bar and immediately do another 8 repetitions.
