What the Difference Between Sets and Repetitions?

In the fitnes dan weightlifting exercise you will often hear SET and REPETITION. Not just fitnes and weightlisfting, but if you doing push up, pull up, burpees and another bodyweight workout, you must also doing right set and repetition. So, what the difference between set and repetition? 

REPETITION

Repetition or abbreviated reps means doing repetition of the same movements without pause / break. For example, if you do sit ups as much as 20 times, which means you do reps of sit ups as much as 20 times without break. If you doing 20 times sit ups and then you break in 10 reps, and then do the rest, it's not repetition. Remember, repetition always doing without a break. 

Another example, when your fitness trainer says, come on, lift that dumbbell 10 times. After completing 10 times, then it's 10 reps. Or, when you are asked pushup 10 times, meaning you do 10 reps. Done 10 reps mean one set

SET

Set means the accumulation of repetition / repetition that has been done in a certain time. Pause briefly, then repeating the same movements and repetition means that the entry is set to 2, and so on. 

If you had already completed 10 reps push ups, and then pause for a while, you're already doing one sets push up with 10 reps. 30 seconds later, repeat the 10 reps push ups then rest, then it's two sets. 30 seconds later, repeat 10 reps push ups and then rest, then it's 3 sets. Means, finished the last repetition, that's a matter of one set. Now you just do 3 sets @ 10 reps (3 sets, 10 reps each, meaning a total of 30 reps).

Sets and Repetitions Method

Too many reps is not good, because it's means you lift weights too light. And also, too many set it's not good because it's not effective for you. So, what should I do right sets and repetitions?  

Principally, the more weight you lift, the less reps, vice versa. However, if you lift dumbell or barbell too light, is also not effective to build muscle. Ideally, you must choose dumbell or barbell that can be lifted with 8-12 repetitions with 3-5 sets.

Meanwhile, a pair heavy dumbell / barbell, you should lift with 4-5 reps for 3 sets. Then, light dumbell or barbell should be lifted with 15-25 repetition for 4-5 reps. But, actually that's nothing the ideal count for sets and reps, because the number of sets and reps is depend on your gym experience, abilities, and your physical strengh. If you want to increase the number of sets and reps, you must train harder you muscle continously.
