What does 12-20RM mean? Does RM stand for KG?
Fitness exercise 12-20RM refers to the weight that can be repeated at most 12-20 times, and does not represent KG.

RM is the abbreviation of "repetition maximum" in English, which is translated into "maximum repetition value" in Chinese. It is the highest number of repetitions of a certain exercise that the practitioner can do under a certain weight, and it is the RM of this action and this weight.

The reason why the concept of RM appears is because it is found through research that it is not effective to practice until exhaustion every time. The choice of weight and times (and the number of groups) has a great influence on the training results.
