Default Workout Card Target Weight Missing

Hi - I'm sure this question has been asked before - I tried to do a search on the subject and saw that people have asked this question, but couldn't find a response.

I just did Disc 1 today of Meso 1, and noticed on my workout card that there was no target weight listed for Seated Lateral Raise Both Arms, and Seated Curls Alternating & Both Arms. I did the 1RM test for both of these exercises, but on the workout card under "Target Weight", it just says "N/A".

Has anyone else had this problem, is it something that SNM is aware of and something that will be fixed anytime soon?

Thanks!

When you see N/A for an exercise it means a 1RM test result will not work. Both of these exercises use a "rep pattern". 1RM testing is only accurate for straight forward generic up and down reps. Once you start doing rep patterns the formula for predicting the correct weight to use will no longer work and you need to just use your best judgement.

Hi Melanie,

Are you sure you were looking at target weight? I am asking since my card for those exercises reads "N/A" for % of 1RM in the center column but the target weight is listed in the right column.

Otherwise, I don't know why your target weight would not be listed for these exercises.
