One Repetition Maximum (RM) | In resistance training is the maximum amount of weight one can lift in a single repetition for a given exercise. One repetition maximum can be used for determining an individual's maximum strength. One repetition maximum can also be used as an upper limit, in order to determine the desired load for an exercise (as a percentage of the 1RM).
