STS Disc 3 Missing 1RMs

[JennyBear]

In the One Rep Max Calculator, Disc 3's exercise list is missing:

• 258 Calf Raises (dumbbell)
• 396 Dropside Lunges & Stand With Knee Lift (dumbbell)
• 488 Sequential Lunge Into Front Kick Combo

These are not exercises you do a 1RM test for. 1RM testing only works well for basic exercises and standard rep patterns.

This is confusing, I am not supposed to take a 1RM for these. But the card is calculating a target weight based on the 1RMs I put in for these.

Even so if I don't take a 1RM I would still like to track the target/planned weight and the weight I actually used. How are we expected to do that? Through the Edit functionality maybe?

Also how do we decide how much weight to use for these? (I guess that's a better question for Cathe.. i will try another forum for that)

Back to the bug...
I went ahead and added 1RM for the missing exercises (that use weight but not 1RM) ...when I add the 1RM amounts for these exercises they show up on the card with the target weight calculated as a % of 1RM... Except they are not showing up for certain exercises.

E.g. From my Disc 3 Card its calculating the target weight for the first exercise below (that is not supposed to have a 1 RM max), (looks like it is using 60% even though it lists NA as the %) but not for the second exercies Calf raises, even though both list NA as % of 1RM

Sequential Lunge Into Front Kick Combo 5 15 9 NA
...
Calf Raises (dumbbell) NA 10 7 NA

I guess that was the source of my confusion... the card is calculating the target weight based on 1RM so it looked like a the bug was missing exercises but the bug is actually a problem in how and when the card is calculating % 1RM. Makes Sense?

Also some exercises that use weight are listed as "Body Weight".

I'll try to answer at least some of your questions.

1."some exercises that use weight are listed as "Body Weight" - Yes, and this is not a mistake. We classify several Body Weight exercises as "Body Weight" that use light weights because your height and body weight really determine how hard the exercise is, not the light weight you're holding. 1RM testing does not take into account your body weight or height, so exercises that are predominantly based on these factors will not test very well using 1RM testing.

2. I'm not seeing or possibly understanding your other issues. I need to know if you're printing your workout card from the STS tab or from the calendar?

3. As for selecting a weight for a Body Weight exercise using light weight it will really depend on your weight, height, joint health, balance and strength level. Depending on the exercise, something around 10 lbs will work for most people, but there is no exact answer we can give for this question that will work for everyone. This is something where you just need to use your best judgement.
