Ability to rate form per set from 1-5 and consider this when estimating 1RM

Artin Entezarjou 5 years ago updated by Barrett Roberts 5 years ago 2

I've noticed myself sacrificing form in order to keep progressing according to the apps demands. Would be good if the app rewarded good form by lowering estimated 1RM when sets are done with bad form.

Hi Artin,

I'll weigh in here: you should use good form at all times. If you can't do all the reps with good form, stop, and enter what you did. The app will adjust.

Doing more reps with bad form is asking for trouble in the long run. Don't do it.

this is a bad habit I think many of us have done if you have trained long enough.  You get false progression by loosening up your form more and more to keep adding weight.   It’s very hard mentally to miss your target reps but in the long run you will get them and it is better to be honest with yourself.
