a rep is one full motion of movement by the muscle aka lifting the bar fully up and fully down. - Garconis, you are trying to build stanima and strength at the same time. I would actually suggest strating at max and put up as many as you can in one set, lowerweight and do the same. continue this until you can't lift anymore and do that once or twice every two weeks. you should also workout at 60% - 80% of your max . . . 60% builds stanima doing more reps and 80% builds strength and muscle at less reps.

i've heard that to determine your Daily Protein intake (in grams) you should take your weight (in pounds) and multiply by 1.5 to 2. This seems like an awful lot. Is this a recomendation to people who are training for competition, or for the normal person just trying to add some bulk?

US Navy SEAL Physical Fitness Guide has lots of info, and it's relevant, too. It tells you how to do stuff like find your working heart rate by using exercise bicycles and has plenty of charts and stuff you need in it. If you can find it, congrats, because it's really helpful.
EDIT:
I just ran a check on Amazon.com, and here's the link to the book
I would suggest getting both the physical fitness guide and the nutrition guide together, it'll save you a fare amount of money.
and
If you buy both of them at the same time, it costs 25.14, which I believe qualifies you for the free shipping....

the reps scheme for adding mass is 6-12 reps, for gainning strength 3-5 and for power 1-3. I feel it is beneficial to go through all lifting cycles starting with mass, unless your are a performance athlete then you want to stick with strength and power, adding mass may prohibit optimal performance depending on your sport. I your are lifting for recreation then all cycles are open field. If your goal is mass only then your reps should not drop below 6, if your are going for strength stay at 5 reps and if you want raw power use from 90% up to your 1rm. Some words of caution, never try your max without a spotter and never stay on the power phase for more than 2 weeks, any longer and your max will actually go down. How do I know this, because I recently suffered a 15 pound drop in my max from 405lbs to 390lbs, benching max for 4 straight weeks. I hope this has been helpful to anyone who reads this, I will check the forum 3 times per week so if I have helped anyone in any way hit me up, l'll reply to any one .

Came across this article. http://www.efit.com/servlet/article/strength/20427.html
Btw, the intake requirement keeps varying. Seems few agree in the world of nutrition.

no, it was a barbell. apparently the allen screw came loose. It's fixed. it's a 30 barbell, nothing to fancy. it isn't a straight barbell though.
i can't find the box to the barbell. the weights are marcy grips.
the look like the set on the right.
but with less pronouncement.
