Progress Tracker: Estimated 1RM, PRs and Stall Detection

IRONSLOG’s progress tracker turns your logged sets into a per-exercise chart of either your top set or an estimated 1RM, flags a PR automatically the moment you beat your best, and shows plan adherence over time. If a lift stalls — the same weight for several sessions and weeks — it surfaces a note suggesting a deload, calculated from your own history, never a generic benchmark.

What exactly does the progress chart plot?

Pick an exercise and toggle between two views: your heaviest completed set on a given day, or an estimated 1RM calculated with the Epley formula from that day’s top set. The chart is a smoothed line over your logged history for that exercise, with the current number shown next to the toggle so you don’t have to hunt for the last data point.

How does IRONSLOG detect a personal record?

Any completed set that beats your previous best for that exercise — by weight, and by extension its estimated 1RM — gets tagged as a PR the moment it’s logged. There’s no separate step to mark a PR; it’s detected from the same set you were already logging.

What does the deload suggestion look like, and where does it come from?

When a lift’s weight hasn’t moved for several sessions and multiple weeks, the progress tracker shows a note naming the stuck weight, how many sessions and weeks it’s been stalled, and suggests a deload week. It’s computed entirely from your own logged sets for that exercise — not a fixed program template.

Key takeaways

  • IRONSLOG charts either your top set or an estimated 1RM, toggled per exercise.
  • Personal records are auto-flagged the moment a logged set beats your previous best.
  • A stalled lift surfaces a deload suggestion computed from your own logged history.
  • Adherence tracks the share of scheduled sessions you’ve actually completed.
  • Nothing on the progress tracker is estimated from anyone else’s numbers.
