A One Repetition Maximum (1RM) is the maximum amount of weight that a person can lift for a single repetition of a given exercise with proper form. It is often used as a measure of strength and is commonly tested in exercises like the bench press, squat, and deadlift.

Why is 1RM Important?

• Helps set training intensity for strength programs.
• Allows lifters to track progress over time.
• Used in strength sports like powerlifting and weightlifting.
• Helps determine appropriate weights for different rep ranges (e.g., lifting 75% of 1RM for multiple reps).
