Mobile view for Google Sheets and feature creep

As usual a minor update grows to be a bigger update. Since I’m updating the sheets I thought that with some small extra work I could make some great improvements to the user interface and features.

Mobile view works with the dark theme also so you won't burn your eyes

So I decided to make a full Mobile layout for the sheets that allows me to edit the programs easily on my phone. Also the planned 1RM tracker changed to be able to track 1RM, 3RM, 5RM, 8RM etc. which would be more useful information since most of us don’t ever test our 1RM weight. But something like a 3-8RM range would be useful for strength testing.

Tracking from 1RM to 20RM available

Don’t worry I will also include a “desktop” version of the sheets, but all the programs will probably be in the mobile version only. Desktop template users have to use “copy & paste values” for pre-made programs.

Weekly total rep tracking also available if the exercise uses fixed resistance

Now I’m doing some testing for the template to see if anything is broken. I still need to finish some features I added to the demo for the final version. Looks good so far!

Push-Ups compared to bench press - with calculator

  Push-ups compared to bench press Have you ever wondered how you would compare the different types of push-ups to a barbell press? Well I did but couldn’t find a good push-up to bench press calculator. So I did some research online, made my own calculator based on the actual load and verified the results. Of course direct comparison is not possible because the two exercises are completely different but we can compare the loading parameters between barbell press and push-ups. So a fair warning if you can bench press 1.5x bodyweight you are not able to do one arm push-ups or the other way around. It just doesn’t work that way. But if you currently can do one arm push-ups with good form you could probably reach the 1.5x bodyweight bench 1RM relatively fast by practising the actual lift. In the following we will look at: Strength standards - how much you should actually press to be intermediate or advanced 1RM vs 6-10RM for bodyweight exercises Push-up variations and actual load Top a...
