For the machine assisted exercises e.g. machine assisted pull ups/chin ups/dips the app incorrectly signals a new personal best(1rm). This is because in these exercises using less weight signals an improvement and using more weight does not.
So currently if say I did 10 reps of machine assisted pull ups with a 20kg weight assisting me and during the next set i need more assistant and do 8 reps with 30 kg assisting me the apps signals a new 1rm. when in fact i have regressed.
What should happen is if I do 10 reps with 20kg assistant and then next week i do 10 reps with 10kg THIS is a new 1rm/progress being made.
This as far as I know only applies to when the weight makes things easier for you/assist you.
I dont know whether this might mean coding separately for these type of exercises or what ever but I hope this can be fixed.
Great app otherwise
