The basic concept is the Workout. A workout has, at a minimum, a date/time and one or more Exercise. Each Exercise has one or more Working Sets that consists of a weight and a number of reps.
Optionally, the Workout can record the following:
- tempo of the workout
- the difficulty, or effort, as a subjective measure
- the duration of rest intervals
- an orthopedic index of any pain
- the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) is as follows (RPE below 6 is considered "warm up", not a work set:
- @10: Maximal Effort. No reps left in the tank.
- @9: Heavy Effort. Could have done one more rep.
- @8: Could have done two or three more reps.
- @7: Bar speed is "snappy" if maximal force is applied.
- @6: Bar speed is "snappy" with moderate effort.
