The Bare Minimum: How to Maintain Muscle with 2 Workouts a Week
Life gets busy. New job? New baby? Here is the exact protocol to keep your gains on a minimal schedule.
Track your SBD, estimate 1RM, and manage fatigue with RPE-based logging.
Powerlifting is a numbers game. You need precision. RepLog gives you the analytics and tools you need to add kilos to your total, handle peaking blocks, and manage fatigue effectively.
Built-in RPE fields allow you to auto-regulate your training based on daily readiness.
See your theoretical maxes trend over time without testing true 1RM every week.
Never do math at the bar again. Calibrated for competition plates.
A common mistake in powerlifting is testing your 1RM too often. True strength is built in the 70-85% range with high volume (accumulation), not by maxing out every Friday. **RepLog's Peaking Strategy:** 1. **Accumulation:** Track high volume sets. 2. **Intensification:** Track higher percentages (RPE 8-9). 3. **Taper:** Drop fatigue while maintaining intensity relative to your new strength. RepLog's "Estimated 1RM" feature is critical here—it allows you to see your strength trend upward based on sub-maximal RPE sets, meaning you can verify progress without frying your CNS before the meet.
Yes, you can toggle between weight (lbs/kgs) and % of 1RM for any set.
RPE is a native field. It's right next to Reps and Weight.
