What is a PR?
A personal record (PR) in weightlifting is your best performance in a specific exercise, such as lifting the heaviest weight or completing more repetitions with a given weight than you have done before.
Types of PR’s
Heaviest weight: The heaviest weight you’ve ever lifted
Best 1RM: 1RM (One Rep Max) uses reps and weight from a set to estimate the max weight you could lift for a single rep. This is the highest 1RM you’ve ever achieved.
Best Set Volume: The set in which you lifted the most volume (weight x reps)
Best Session Volume: Max Session Volume is the session you lifted the most weight in a total over all your sets in this exercise.
Longest Distance: The longest distance you have performed this exercise for in a given set.
Longest Time: The longest time you have performed this exercise for in a given set. (Endurance-based- example: plank)
Best Time: The longest time you have performed this exercise for in a given set (Exercises where faster is better - example - running)
Best Set: The set in which you did the most reps.
Most Session Reps: Most reps completed in a single workout.

How does the set records table work?
Where to find: Open an exercise that includes sets > on the “summary” screen, scroll down to the bottom > Tap on “Set Records” to open the drop-down menu, and the “Set Records” chart will appear.
The set record chart doesn’t show the percentage of your one-rep max (1RM). Instead, it displays the heaviest weight you’ve lifted for that specific number of repetitions.
