What is a pr in lifting?

A PR, or personal record, in lifting refers to when an individual completes a lift or set of lifts at a weight or rep range that they have not previously achieved before. This could refer to a new maximum weight they are able to lift for a single rep (1RM), or it could refer to completing a higher weight or rep range than they have previously achieved in a given exercise.

Achieving a PR in lifting can be a significant milestone for many individuals who engage in weightlifting or strength training, as it shows progress and improvement in strength and ability. Many people set goals for achieving PRs in their lifting routines and use them as motivation to continue training and improving.

There are several factors that can contribute to achieving a PR in lifting, including proper form and technique, consistent training, recovery, and proper nutrition. It is important for individuals to approach lifting with patience and focus on gradual progress, rather than trying to lift too much weight too quickly which could result in injury.
