    Its relative but generally anything that would cause you to fail by 10 reps unless you are aiming for endurance training, then its a time frame.

    It's what's heavy to you. Typically a weight that you can lift 6-8 times for I would say 3 sets

    It's when you need a calculator to find out how much weight you're lifting
