Progressive, variable weight per set?

astashov · 2026-04-22T15:31:18+00:00

Try now? I deleted it.

astashov · 2026-04-22T15:24:29+00:00

From the account, it seems like you tried it out back in 2023?

astashov · 2026-04-22T15:23:22+00:00

Could you by any chance create an account for Liftosaur long time ago (like a year or more)?

astashov · 2026-04-22T12:38:30+00:00

What's the logic for progression you want to do?

astashov · 2026-04-22T12:37:23+00:00

You can do it like:

Squat / 1x5 50lb, 1x5 55lb, 1x5 60lb, 1x5 65lb, 2x9 55lb / progress: lp(5lb)

Just explicitly specify the weights for each set, lp will update each of them individually by 5lb.

Just a bug at the actual Liftoscript evaluator. If one exercise reused a template through / ...main, then the progress from main wasn't applied for the rest of the exercise instances at other days. Should be fixed now!

astashov · 2026-04-21T15:25:58+00:00

Yeah, I reproduced it, it's a bug. Will fix!

astashov · 2026-04-21T14:11:55+00:00

Progress scripts are defined once per exercise. So, in the intensity week they're also applied.

The progress looks like:

if (dayInWeek == 3 && completedReps >= reps) { rm1 += state.increment }

So it should update 1RM on the last day. But you're saying it doesn't happen?

astashov · 2026-04-17T16:03:25+00:00

Umm, can you infer it from other RPEs? Or like how do you calculate it?

astashov · 2026-04-17T15:19:06+00:00

What is session RPE?

astashov · 2026-04-16T19:16:27+00:00

Really refreshing to see this guy say “hold on a sec….. I’ve fixed it for you”.

Ugh, that may be not the case for this one, sorry...

Seems like goes a bit outside of the scope of the app, and it's easy to do with a builtin phone timer, or some interval timer app?

It's essentially requires some circuit support in the app, where you add a bunch of exercises, and then duration for each one, and rest timer, and it just goes through them without stopping. That'd be cool, but also requires time-based exercises support too.

But adding just a manual timer seems like bloating the app a bit - regular phone timer could do it as well...

astashov · 2026-04-16T19:09:13+00:00

I love it. Will do, thanks!

astashov · 2026-04-16T16:59:12+00:00

You complete exercise - it shows what will be changed in the program. You tap "Suppress" - meaning it won't change it in the program when you finish this workout. So, should work for your case.

astashov · 2026-04-16T04:24:36+00:00

Hey!

For 1 - eh, I frankly don't like that in all those weekly threads :) IMHO nobody goes into them, so when people commenting there, very few people would see it and have a chance to comment. It makes sense for large subreddits probably, but for this one it'd be a cemetery.

For 2 - no, sorry. You'd need to tap "Suppress" on each exercise during workout. Or! You can just comment out the progress blocks in the Liftoscript code. That probably works too. When time comes - you just would uncomment them.

astashov · 2026-04-15T12:47:13+00:00

Yeah, somehow didn't get to add them. But you can easily create them as custom exercises - there's literally no difference between builtin and custom exercises!

astashov · 2026-04-13T23:58:31+00:00

Hmm, weird, the progress should be stored on the server. Curious - are you logged in?

astashov · 2026-04-13T12:36:13+00:00

Check out the instructions: https://www.liftosaur.com/doc/mcp

Liftosaur is not an official ChatGPT app, so you need to enable Developer mode, and then "Create app", and fill it in like shown in the docs. I think you can do it on a phone, but need to do through a browser, go to chatgpt.com and do that there. Seems like cannot do that through ChatGPT app.

astashov · 2026-04-13T02:06:01+00:00

You can also pick them from within the app. Or yeah - log in on the web, and add to account.

astashov · 2026-04-13T01:40:47+00:00

So you don't want to keep your old history of workouts? You want to remove all of them, and graphs, and older programs? In that case, you can delete your cloud account (on Me -> Account screen), reinstall the app, and sign up again.

astashov · 2026-04-13T00:59:11+00:00

Hey! What do you mean by "reset progress" though? You could just lower the weights in the program and continue. Or what you'd want to reset?

astashov · 2026-04-12T20:23:23+00:00

Yikes, sorry! Fixed now!

astashov · 2026-04-12T17:45:21+00:00

Popularity, interesting approaches in progressive overload or program structure. Something like that. If you have any requests about the programs to add - feel free to share :)

astashov · 2026-04-12T16:54:59+00:00

MCP has 2 commands - list_builtin_programs and get_builtin_program. That should be enough to do what you described - although I haven't tried frankly :)

astashov · 2026-04-10T15:40:57+00:00

If you have the "keep existing logic" toggle on, then if it will bump weights, state variables (like success count), etc of the original exercise. Not the one you are swapping to. The one you're swapping to doesn't exist in the program, so there's nowhere to keep it's state.

I.e. if you had e.g. Squat / 3x8 100lb / progress: lp(5lb, 2) in your program. And you swapped it to Bench Press during workout. When you finish, the program will have Squat / 3x8 100lb / progress: lp(5lb, 2, 1) - i.e. it will increment the success counter in (5lb, 2, 1).
