1RM (one-rep max)

One-rep max (1RM) refers to the maximum amount of weight a person can lift for a single repetition of a particular exercise. It is a standard measure in strength training that helps assess an individual's maximum strength capacity. Fitness enthusiasts often use 1RM to tailor their workout programs, allowing them to determine how much weight to lift for various rep ranges. Establishing a 1RM can aid in tracking progress over time, enhancing training efficiency, and setting realistic strength goals. It’s important to approach 1RM testing cautiously to avoid injury.
