one rep max
Heaviest single lift
One rep max is the maximum weight a person can lift for a single repetition of a given exercise—the ultimate measure of strength for that movement.
Often abbreviated 1RM, it's used in weightlifting to track progress and calculate training loads: My bench press one rep max is 225 pounds.
