PR - Personal Records in Weightlifting

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

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.

Total Drop Set Volume

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 - 1RM (Calc)

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.

One Rep Max Actual - 1RM (Actual)

This personal record is the actual max weight your lifted during a workout.
