    depends.


    10 sets of 10 reps = 100


    rep is an individual motion
    set is a group of reps

    Reps - how many you did in a row.
    Sets - how many groups of reps you did.

    If you did 10 sit-ups, rested, then did 10 more, you did 2 sets of 10 reps.

    If you did all 100 without a break, you did 1 set of 100 reps.
