What does "1.5" mean?

[healthy_vegan]

There are a few exercises that specify "1.5" after them. For example -- Seated Concentration curls 1.5

Does 1.5 indicate something to do with the timing? For example, each second should now be a second and a half?

Forgive my ignorance, but I want to be sure I do them correctly.

It's a full rep followed by a partial rep. So for biceps you'd curl all the way up and down, then halfway up, then down, all the way up ...

Oh! Thanks, that makes sense. So, does 1 rep mean 1 full and 1 half rep?

1.5 = 1 rep

Yes, 1.5 = 1 rep

Well, that will sure change my results on the 1.5 concentration curls! Guess I better do that one again.
