Build Muscle Faster: Why 1RM is Your Secret Weapon
If you don't track your strength, you don't grow. Professional athletes always use their 1RM to dictate their training intensity.
What is 1RM?
1-Rep Max is the maximum weight you can lift for a single repetition with perfect form. It is the baseline for any effective workout program.
Train Smarter, Not Harder
