How does building muscle work?
How does this differ if your exercise is higher reps at lower weight vs. Tons of weight with a 1 rep max?

Great explanations so far, to add to them the 1 rep max (1RM) is typically a goal for your strength building program to achieve. When starting a strength based exercise regime your goal becomes to continually increase your 1RM as proof that your progress continues. 1RM should in no-way be considered as exercise even though it is an extremely strenuous activity, this is because the damage incurred by repetitive max lifting is a guaranteed way to end up with chronic musculoskeletal disorders.
