Total Reps
You will often see this on the “powerlifts” such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, or overhead presses.
An example of this is:
80% for 12 total reps
You will perform the 80% weight for as many reps as possible in as few sets as possible (AFSAP) until 12 total reps are completed. You will rest from 90-120s between stoppages.
Track the number of sets and reps for each set to track your progressions with the stated percentages.
