Log everything
You cannot spot a PR you did not record. Note weight and reps for each set so you can compare this week to last and know exactly what to beat.
How do I track PRs properly?
Log every set's weight and reps, then track estimated 1RM so rep PRs at any load count as progress.
The quick answer
Log the weight and reps of every working set so nothing is guessed. Track more than your one rep max: use estimated 1RM from your best sets so hitting 100 kg for 6 instead of 5 registers as a real PR. Watch top set, rep PRs at a given weight, and total volume, and only chase true max singles occasionally.
How to think about it
Use estimated 1RM
An estimated one rep max turns any hard set into a comparable number, so 80 kg for 8 versus 80 kg for 10 shows clear progress without ever grinding a true single. SUUPR calculates this from your logged sets automatically.
Track several PR types
Beyond a max single, a rep PR at a given load and a volume PR both signal you are getting stronger. Following all three keeps you motivated even in weeks when your top single does not move.
Do this
- Record each setEnter weight and reps every set, not just the heavy one.
- Watch estimated 1RMLet the app compute e1RM and treat a new high as a PR.
- Note rep PRsBeating your previous reps at the same weight counts, log it.
- Test maxes rarelyOnly attempt true one rep max singles every few months, not weekly.
