Peak Strength offers a Training Progress Calendar at https://peakstrength.app/training-progress-calculator

Anyone can use this calculator to help them determine a timeline to hit their next goal in the weight room. The purpose of the calculator is to provide an estimated period in which you should be able to achieve a goal weight in a specific movement based on your current performance level.

The training calculator allows you to determine goals for seven key movements:

  • Back squat

  • Bench press

  • Clean and jerk

  • Deadlift

  • Front squat

  • Power clean

  • Snatch

You will then select your gender and input your current highest performance level. Your performance level does not have to be a 1RM. You can select your best performance for up to 10 reps.

Finally, input the goal weight that you want to hit and the amount of times you strength train per week.

Then, the calculator will provide you with a roadmap for improving your current strength levels via a PDF booklet as well as an estimated timeline for how long it will take you to reach your goal milestone.

The estimated progression timeline is based on the testing results for the thousands of athletes who have trained at Garage Strength over 15 years of programming.

Take the estimate with a grain of salt because it may take you less or more time, depending on your consistency, intensity, and programming structure.

To stick to that timeline as closely as possible, we recommend using one of the Peak Strength programs that aligns with your goals.
