How ArchiFit picks the next weight
Every suggestion comes from your own log, with fixed rules that run on the phone. With a plan of 6–8 reps and a 2.5 kg step, which is 5 lb on an lb setting:
| The set you just did | Next set |
|---|---|
| 145 lb × 9 (past the top of 6–8) | 150 lb × 6. One step heavier, about 5%, inside the 2–10% range the ACSM recommends, back to the bottom of the range |
| 145 lb × 7 (inside the range) | 145 lb × 7. Same weight, reps kept in range |
| 145 lb × 5 (under the range) | 145 lb × 6. Same weight; within a workout the weight is not lowered for tired reps |
| Three workouts stuck at 145 lb (build muscle) | Next three workouts: 130 lb × 10, then 140 lb × 8, then 145 lb × 6 |
In kg the same sets read 65 kg × 9, giving 67.5 kg × 6, and a stall at 65 kg goes 57.5 kg, 62.5 kg, then 65 kg. Read the full method, including the first set of the day and the 8-week analysis.
