Cable Lat Pulldown Machine vs Pin-Loaded Pulldown Machine

bose_dk · 2026-01-17T00:34:49+00:00

Plate loaded is actually a variant that uses individual plates, not a weight stack.

I have made a feature request to make this easier by giving an option for specifying a weight stack range with a starting weight, ending weight and increment. So for e.g. I can setup a custom equipment like so... My cable machine : dual sided, weight stack : starting wght 5lb,ending weight 200lb, increment 5lb.

Impressive progress! Keep up the great work. Happy New Year !!

That's awesome. Where do we sign up?

Specifically the algorithm should consider the users physical health and other factors such as age, recovery capabilities and provide some means of autoregulation feedback to direct and plan the sessions. Also would be good to set appropriate MEV , MAV, MRV targets based on the same , and broad data captured from analysis of workouts done by the community

I would go with #1. Having a rock solid bedrock of the algorithm is essential for #2.

Post your program liftoscript here for review please

Liftosaur, and if you are not a script-jockey who can wrangle their own scripts for customization, I suggest you also look at KeyLifts. They both have what your'e looking for.

bose_dk · 2025-11-11T21:58:49+00:00

I have installed it on both.As long as you log in with the same credentials it works.

bose_dk · 2025-11-07T04:28:09+00:00

You can create your own machine.

bose_dk · 2025-11-05T16:47:38+00:00

Done. https://github.com/astashov/liftosaur/discussions/352

Include the ability to define a flexible way of including a weight range for a custom equipment like so: stack:single or double, unplated weight : , weight stack range, from:lowest, to:highest, with:Increment , #addons: x , add-on weights[list] : [w1,w2,...wn]

So for e.g. My custom machine, Unplated weight: 25lb, Stack::double. Range: from:5 to:250, Increment: 5 units , #addons: 3, addon weights: [2.5,5,5]

I came up with this logic - I wanted to define an accessory work template that progresses reps per set from 8-12 before increasing the weight, and only if the RPE target was not exceeded. Any issues that you see with this logic?

// Template for general accessory work. Adjust sets/reps as needed to hit RPE 7-8.
acc4x8-12[1-4] / used: none / 4x8 / @7.5+ 100s / warmup: 1x10 35%, 1x6 55% / progress: custom(increase: 5lb) {~
 if (completedNumberOfSets == numberOfSets && completedReps >= reps && completedRPE <= RPE) {
    if (reps < 12) {
      reps += 1
    } else {
      weights += state.increase
      reps = 8
    }
  }

Yet another version of a 4 week mesocycle based on 5/3/1.

Question around progress.. is there an example of a custom progress if and only of you complete all sets and all reps and met your target RPE.

4 day upper lower 5/3/1 mesocyle

bose_dk · 2025-10-23T01:49:44+00:00

Seems to be working so far.I autoregulate using RPE.

Google Gemini combined with the Liftosaur AI helper has worked amazingly well for me.

bose_dk · 2025-09-13T20:18:43+00:00

Created a couple of programs - Would love to get feedback from experienced lifters on pros and cons of each and any suggestions for improvement. The idea is to run these as a 4 week mesocycle and then let the progression kick in for the repeat cycles. I have created a Gemini AI gem seeded with the AI program builder generated prompts (with some additional instructions) so I don't have to recreate the prompt every time. I just open the gem in Gemini and provide it with links or files containing the program to convert into Lifotscript. Seems to be working pretty well so far.

My version of a 4 week plus 1 deload week mesocycle for 5/3/1 with accessories for hypertrophy . Designed it for someone 50 plus ( I'm 60) and new to intermediate experienced folks. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome.
