Surefire 1RM progression

Dan Ruse 6 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 5 years ago 3

We can set the number of reps and the weight to our likings and THE AI computes the new 1RM. 

So far, so cool 👍


But it would be much cooler if we can get an instant alert of the 1RM being in "danger" of dropping  when changing the suggested Dr Muscle variables. So we can instantly make adjustments to the sets/reps/weights BEFORE lifting "in vain" 😌

Hi Dan,


Thank you for your suggestion.

Would implementing your other suggestion (https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/60-a-dynamic-progression-display) also take care of this one? 

If you ever lift "in vain", and you're disappointed by your 1RM progression, you can go back / return to that exercise and do one more set with more weight or 1-2 extra reps. That way, you'll have made progress on that day for that exercise. Would that work for now?

Sure, why didn't I think of that? 😁


I thought you got one shot at it and if you don't succeed, well... you're just have to deload.

That's right: you have "have to" deload. If you feel like you could have done more, just go back.

I'll mark this suggestion as "Completed" for now, if that's OK with you, since your other suggestion would take care of it, and we've found a way to work around the issue.

Thx Dan!
