Load is described as either a certain % of
1 Repetition Maximum (Greatest amount of weight that can be lifted with proper technique for only 1 rep) or RM (Most weight lifted for a specific # of reps) or Load inversely related to repetitions (And movement speed)
% of the 1RM and Repetitions Allowed
100%= 1, 95%= 2, 93%= 3, 90%= 4, 87%= 5, 85%= 6, 83%= 7, 80%= 8, 77%= 9, 75%= 10, 70%=11, 67%= 12, 65%= 15
