Hello everyone, I pretty much only do the Dumbbell Training Journey and there’s something that always felt like an unnecessary problem. Everytime a journey ends and a new one starts I have to tell the coach my hypothetical performance in 4 exercises. Not only it isn’t very factual (3 or 4 series,…

Hi @tiagodovale , this topic has already been taked aout here: [image] Data for new training journey 🇬🇧 English speaking Forum I have completed two Dumbbell training journeys and about to start my third. Each time at the beginning it asks for my estimated rep and weight, I…

Hey @tiagodovale :wave:t2: [image] tiagodovale: The data I’ll provide (the hypothetical reps per weight per 3 or 4 series) will be pure speculation with no precision or reliability (the “3 or 4” by itself will guarantee that). It won’t be a proper base for the algorithm to work from. I’m not…

I’m not sure if I understand totally what you mean… (Nor why it makes you sad :slight_smile: ) If Freelectics asked me to “Do this exercise, 1 series, up to failure!” to evaluate me, I’d be ok. But what’s asked is something much different. Is it 3 or 4 series? Because it’s not the same, nor nearly…

It doesn’t sound like you are referring to the beginning of training journey assessment :point_down:t2: [image] tiagodovale: But what’s asked is something much different. Is it 3 or 4 series? Because it’s not the same, nor nearly the same. Just there there’s a 33% volume difference! The star…

[IMG_6785] I’m sorry this is in Portuguese (and I’m sorry it has my notes on it) but I’ll translate: “Tell us the reps and weights you can comfortable take in each exercise (3 or 4 series).”

Thanks for this, I can see more so why this is confusing. For reference :point_down:t2: [share_4438441341561243096] :clapclapstatic:

Basically I’ve confused what TJ you are on :see_no_evil: :clapclapstatic:

So to try and clear and this up. For the small weights assessments, the assessment is indeed different in this regard i.e. 3-4 sets, but the importance of the assessment is still the same :+1:t2: There is a “cheat/workaround” if you don’t want to do the assessment, and that is to select the “I’ve …

Thank you. I don’t have any doubt it would be useful if the data we provided could be precise. But it’s not due to many factors, including how the question is formulated. (Again, 3 or 4 series and “comfortable” won’t produce reliable information.) It would be useful if it said “do this exercise wi…
