Note: A rep in the case of an armbar is the rhythmical movement of the hips in and out of the stretch. Not a bounce! The tempo is about 2 seconds in and 2 seconds out.

A rep of the pullover is obvious unless you are not able to get all the way to the ground. In that case a rep consists of a contract/relax cycle.
