Understanding 1RM in Calisthenics
One-rep max (1RM) is a standard measure of strength that indicates the maximum weight one can lift for one repetition. In calisthenics, it translates to bodyweight exercises where understanding your strength can help tailor your training for skill progression.
Progressing with Bodyweight Exercises
Progressing in calisthenics can be challenging without added weights. Use your 1RM to set benchmarks for your training, allowing you to focus on skill work, such as muscle-ups and planche, while ensuring strength development.
Incorporating 1RM into Your Training Plan
Incorporate your 1RM into your training plan by adjusting volume and intensity based on your estimated max. This helps in balancing skill progression with necessary strength work, reducing client frustration during long skill progressions.
