Repetitions

A repetition is the completion of the movement of an exercise including all four phases, concentric, eccentric, and the transition phases between the concentric and eccentric portion of a movement. As with sets, the number of repetitions selected for an exercise has a major effect of the physiological adaptation and response to the exercise, potentially even more so than the number of sets selected. Below is a table listing repetition ranges, per set, and the physiological adaptation typical of each.

Loading of the movement should match the repetition range and the goal for that number of reps.
