Understanding 1RM

One-rep max (1RM) is the maximum amount of weight that a client can lift for one repetition. It's a crucial measure in strength training, allowing trainers to tailor programs based on individual capabilities.

Why Hybrid Coaching Needs 1RM Calculations

In hybrid coaching, trainers must balance the needs of both remote and in-person clients. Knowing each client's 1RM helps maintain consistent training intensity across formats, ensuring quality and effectiveness.

Integrating Technology for Better Assessments

Utilizing technology, such as apps or online platforms, can streamline the process of recording and calculating 1RM values. This integration helps trainers manage client data more effectively and maintain quality across different training environments.
