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.
Choosing your reps and sets can be the most confusing part of strength training. How many reps and sets you do will depend on your goals. To lose body fat, build muscle: Use enough weight that you can only complete 10-12 repetitions and 1-3 sets - 1 for beginners, 2-3 for intermediate and advanced exercisers. Rest about 30 seconds-1 minute between sets and at least one day between workout sessions.
