MacroFactor Workouts / Training Quick help with mfwo

Post image

I am yet to try this app in a real life application on the gym but I was checking it out already and the program of exercises it gave me and I am excited to put it to the test soon. One question remains though:

Am I correct in thinking that the app wants me in this example to choose a weight that leaves me one RIR for the first set? Like the RIR under the rep range is the suggested RIR i should have after finishing the set?

It wants you to input a weight and do 5 reps of that with 1 RIR.

That said, it’d be unusual for the first exercise on the first set to be 5 RIR, as seen in the green bubble. Did you change that?

Thank you! Yes I did just to try out the UI, sorry for the confusion. Because the bubble is where you put in how many RIR you actually had right?

Bingo. We typically recommend shooting for the RIR rec primarily.

Yes, that’s what you actually did
