3 years ago scenario: cycle 0: pr cycle, progress with 8 reps cycle 1: non-pr cycle, progress lift with 6 reps cycle 2: non-pr cycle, don't progress lift with 4 reps cycle 3: pr cycle, on 1x day with 5 prescribed reps. what do i want to see?
what i will see: RepMax: cycle 1, but only if i got exactly prescribed reps. otherwise, a random 5RM NewField: cycle 0, because that is the last xPR cycle WeightMax: if TM % for the program is the same, you'll see cycle 2's failing rep number here (but not true if that number is 0.). this might be partially addressed if we handle PRs more grainly - if you wanted 5 reps but got 4, that might still be a 4RM but also might still be a 1RM, 2RM, 3RM, etc. If you've never gotten the weight, it correctly shows nothing. it might be helpful to know you got x +/- 2 for 4 reps or something but at some point you're splitting hairs. if the weight is exactly the same, you will see the most reps you got which will be cycle 2.
what do i want to see in newField? maybe the failed lift from cycle 2 instead? no guarantee that this will be represented in the WeightM but otherwise cycle 0 is fine, really.
i think we ideally want to see: the last 1xPR, any cycle - cycle 0 in this case, but see below ### the last cycle's 1x number - cycle 2 in this case - how do we identify that? even if we pass, how would we identify that?
scenario: i use prescribed 5xPR for every week this cycle (this is common). what i want to see is my last "week 3" lift, not the one from just last week. Similarly, i want to see week "5" to week "5" and week "3" to week "3" but we don't store week... could we limit to most recent collection of.. a) correct lift b) prescribed reps are the same c) progress week, if current week is progress week, or not if not - this covers progress weeks da) PR set? that will cut out the warmup/pyramid sets. but we lose cycle 2 above... db) even if we had a marker for "top set of the day" that's not going to help if two straight weeks have 5xpr but different weights d) TM%? haven't really handled that. shouldn't need to? e) week? this gets to be very specific to 5/3/1. what i really want is to see the last time i was at this level of intensity in the program - might be a week might be 3.
The last time I was told '5xPR' how many did I get?
Do I care only about xPR reps here? That is, if I did two cycles of non-pr, do I still want to see the last xPR or the most recent 5 set? I think still the xPR, since we're showing all the above and that should cover our bases. I think this covers the not-at-alltime-pr use case well enough if not perfectly
Shouldn't need the same on weight because we only see this weight again when we don't increase it.i.e. I'm seeing this weight again, I should only care what my rep max is for this weight regardless of prescribed reps, right?*
Programs that do increase weight even though? No, because you won't add weight in the middle of a set.
*What about showing the most recent PR-set reps you got with that many prescribed reps (+ that weight?) That would help if this is a second time through and/or you're not at all time PR. That is, I don't care if my highest ever reps on 5xPR was 30, I only ^ I think all use cases above will be solved by pulling in most recent 5xPR lift.
