Repetition maximum (RM)

Repetition maximum (RM) is the maximum amount of weight you can lift for a specific exercise a certain number of times without rest. For example, a 1RM is the heaviest weight you can lift once, while a 10RM is the heaviest weight you can lift ten times. RM helps gauge your strength and sets benchmarks for designing effective training programs. It’s a useful measure to tailor workouts, ensuring exercises challenge your muscles appropriately without risking injury. RM varies by individual and exercise, providing a personalized way to track progress and adjust training intensity.
