It depends on what you are measuring because there are two types of muscles. If you are maxing and do 1 rep, then you measure your muscles' explosive capacity. If you do several reps (>8) you train your endurance instead.

There is a fine line between endurance and explosiveness, but generally you can say that if you train 1-6 reps, its more explosive training. If you train 12-20 or more than that you train endurance. Between 8-12 you train both.
