Introduction
Fitbod will now indicate if it’s your “Max Effort Day” for a given exercise. On Max Effort Day, you will be given regular working sets along with two AMRAP (as many reps as possible) sets. The first working set is ~70% of your Estimated Strength, the second set is ~80%, and your AMRAP sets are ~90%. To test your limits, try to lift as many reps (following the weight recommendations) safely and with good form as you can. By performing as many reps as possible, you can potentially set a new estimated strength and/or recalibrate the app to better reflect your capabilities.
*Estimated Strength: Your estimated strength is the theoretical maximum weight you can lift in 1 rep for a given exercise, calculated from your past exercise history. This value will always be slightly higher than your actual max weight logged. In Fitbod, we use this number to calculate how much you should lift in other sets and rep ranges. For more information on projected Estimated Strength, please visit Fitbod Metrics + Records.
