A Rep (repetition) is one complete motion of an exercise. A set is a group of consecutive repetitions. For example, “two sets of ten reps on chest press.” means that you did ten consecutive chest presses, rested, and then did another ten chest presses.

Form is a specific way of performing a movement, often a strength training exercise, to avoid injury, prevent cheating and increase strength. With many different exercises, form is the first thing you should try to understand, this is often done by first performing an exercise at a comfortably low weight so that your body can get used to the required movements.

% of max strength is your personalized difficulty for each exercise and the measurement format that I’ll be using to outline my workout routines. E.g. 80% of max strength would be almost the maximum weight that your body can manage, whereas 20-40% of max strength would be an easy weight to manage.  % of max strength is a subjective format, and depends on the individual.
