Exercise charts

Dangerfirepower Posts: 4 Joined: 2002/04/03	2002/04/08, 02:21 PM Hello I just did my first exercise routine today and i input all of my data into the table, i want to get to the exercise charts, but it wont let me. Do I have to wait a certain amount of time or do i have to put in more than 1 day to see a chart any feed back will be appreciated thank you James

The charts are drawn based on your 1 rep max (i think.. was I reading them wrong?) and if this is the first exercise you have entered then there really is no way to show any progress. It only has data for your exercises once.. once you enter a few more you should see them coming up... there'll actually be some points to plot..

So, if you can do 5 reps. of 100 pounds, for example, it calculates that your 1 rep. max equivalent would be 117 pounds. Note that you have to enter a certain number for reps. before it can actually calculate the equivalent... -------------- **_Robert_**
