What would you all define as repping out? more than 10 correct?
Is repping out the same thing as saying "for reps"?

IMO, hammering out reps until you're completely wipedOriginally Posted by Quake215
Usually done at the end of a set, AMRAP can be used interchangeably.
No, "for reps" is just that, moving a specific weight more than once as Xauxace said.Originally Posted by Quake215
A 600lb deadlift is impressive, it's even more impressive when done for reps.On the road to 1250
Train consistently, move iron with purpose, eat well, sleep well and achieve.

There is no concreate numberOriginally Posted by Quake215
being more critical I assume 3-5. THe reason is that if it was more than that, people would just say the repout a higher weight. It is an expression used when trying to show off, so it doesn't appeal to say a weight that you can rep out for a lot of reps when you can say the same thing but rep more weight and less reps."Do not subordinate fundamental principles to minor details."

To me repping out is def 10-12+ reps and after you complete all the reps you can possibly do with good form/ squeeze you go on to partial reps to totally obliterate the fibers! So a boatload of reps lol
