Answer:

A set is a group of repetitions. Sets and repetitions are common in strength-building exercises. For example, you might do one set of 10 push-ups: there are 10 repetitions in the set. If you do a second set of push-ups, you will have done 20 push-ups in all. In this case, two sets represent 20 repetitions.

A set considered the amount of repetitions that were completed in one exercise. A repetition is the each individual time that the person doing that exercise.


Example: I do a set of 4 bicep curls. Each set will be 10 repetitions. That means I will do 10 bicep curls, 4 different times to total 40 bicep curls.
