Max reps?

[Ryan S]

Is there a way to set a rep target on an exercise to 'max'?

I could set it at a high number, but that counts against me in my 'targets met' summaries; right now I have to estimate my max reps and set something close to that....

Hey Ryan-
Good question.  You're right that if you set a high target it can count against you in your percentage of targets achieved calculation.  We don't have a "max" setting but I have an easier solution.

For exercises where you're not sure what you might hit on a given day or if you switch off a lot in the same exercise (one workout you go heavy on bench, the next you do high reps) just leave the targets field blank and rely more on your "Last" data as a guide.  I do that a lot especially for exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench.  I'll set targets for the first two sets for warmups (to remind me not to go heavy when I'm cold even if I'm short on time) and for the remaining sets I just check what I did last time for a reference.

For exercises where I'm not going all out (like some core work) then I'll set targets and stick pretty close to them.  When things start getting easy then I'll boost them a little.

Hope this answers your question and gives you some ideas.  If I'm offbase, post back and I can share some other ideas.

Hi John,
I think I'll do as you say -- leave targets blank on go on last workout's data. Thanks for the recommendation -- will try this week!
