MyFitCoach provides you with the number of repetitions, weight, and RIR (Reps in Reserve) for each exercise. You should try to stick to these guidelines. If you find it impossible to meet the given target, you should primarily focus on the RIR and try to adhere to it.

Example 1

Target: 12 reps / 90 lbs / 2 RIR -> you realize on the 10th rep that you can only do two more reps at most, so you stop at rep 10 and record that you did 10 reps / 90 lbs (40 kg) / 2 RIR.

Example 2

Target: 12 reps / 90 lbs / 2 RIR -> you realize on the 12th rep that you can do more than two additional reps, so you keep going until you feel like you could only do 2 more reps at most, and record the corresponding number, for example, 14 reps / 90 lbs / 2 RIR.

If you happen to overestimate or underestimate the number of reps, the weight, or the RIR, please record this honestly. The most important thing is to accurately communicate to MyFitCoach what you have actually accomplished. This allows MyFitCoach to respond and coach you optimally.
