Progression

Dan 6 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 6 years ago 1

I would love to be able to enter the rate of progression manually. 


On some days I just don't feel like going all out to have my 1RM go up like 6%or so. 


I'd like to just enter the rate and then have the app work out the best intensity and volume for me.

Hi Dan,


That's an interesting suggestion, thanks.


I can see how it would be useful. For now, what you can do is lower your weight a bit or do 1 fewer rep than recommended. That should turn a 6% increase into a 4% increase or so.

Plus, when you're done and you tap "Finish exercise", if you change your mind and you're not happy with your progression, you can always go back to that exercise and do another set with more weight or one extra rep. 


Thank you for that suggestion. Cheers!
