PR in Weightlifting PR in Cardio PR in Reps Only / Cross-Fit / Calesthenics
PR's in weighlifting workouts and exercises are tracked by Gym Log
Track in three ways at the workout level and exercise level by total volume, total drop set volume, one rep max
calculated and one rep max actual.
In the workout summary at the end of a workout you can view this information broken down at the
workout level, primary muscle group, secondary muscle group, exercise, equipment, grip style and
grip count.
Total volume is calculated by multiplying the number of reps by the weight lifted. For example, if you lifted 10 reps of 100lbs of weight your total volume is 1000lbs.
Like total volume, drop set volume is also calculated by multiplying the number of reps by the weight lifted. Drop set are performed with a rest period. Tracking them is an important metric to determine if you're performance is increasing.
One Rep Max Calculated is calculated by the most popular (and proven accurate) Brzycki formula from Matt Brzycki which is defined as
weight / ( 1.0278 – 0.0278 × reps )For example, if you lifted 10 reps of 100lbs of weight your calculated 1 RM is 133lbs.
This personal record is the actual max weight your lifted during a workout.
Distance is calculated by multiplying the speed by time. For example, if you ran at 5 miles/hr for 30 mins your distance is 5 miles.
The maxiumum speed you performed a cardio exercise.
The max number of repetitions you have performed for an exercise.
