Warm-up set A warm-up set is a lighter set of the same exercise done before the working sets, with the weight climbing as the reps fall.

Working set A working set is a set done at the weight and reps the program asks for: the sets that count.

Numbers and scores

The figures lifters quote, and what each one measures.
