Albumin (al-BYOO-min) is a protein found in the blood. A healthy kidney does not let albumin pass into the urine. A damaged kidney lets some albumin pass into the urine. The less albumin in your urine, the better. If you are at risk for kidney disease, your provider should check your urine for albumin along with checking your GFR.
Weight Training: How Many Reps (and Sets) to Do. You canât design a strength-training (or weight-training) program without knowing two terms: rep and set. Rep (repetition) is one complete motion of an exercise. A set is a group of consecutive repetitions. For example, you can say, âI did two sets of ten reps on the chest press.â This means that you did ten consecutive chest presses, rested, and then did another ten chest presses.
Strength training means choosing weights that allow you to train in a rep range of 1-6. Building muscle mean choosing weights that allow you to train in a rep range of 8-12. Focusing on muscular endurance means choosing weights that allow you to train for at least 15 reps.
