Boor & Spin
Boor
I’ve been working on a way to trim training time without losing gains. Got a system that tracks every second of effort—want to see if it can beat your current routine?
Spin
Sure, send the data. I’ll crunch it and see if it can shave time while keeping the gains. Don’t expect a quick win if there’s a glitch.

Here’s the raw data set in plain text. It’s a CSV you can drop into any spreadsheet. Columns are: Session, Set, Reps, Weight, Rest, Effort % (1–100).
Session,Set,Reps,Weight,Rest,Effort
1,1,12,70,60,85
1,2,10,75,60,88
1,3,8,80,60,90
2,1,12,72,50,86
2,2,10,77,50,89
2,3,8,82,50,91
3,1,12,74,45,87
3,2,10,79,45,90
3,3,8,84,45,92
4,1,12,76,40,88
4,2,10,81,40,91
4,3,8,86,40,93
5,1,12,78,35,89
5,2,10,83,35,92
5,3,8,88,35,94
That’s everything. Plug it in, look for patterns, see where the rest time can drop without the effort percentage falling below 80. Good luck.
Spin
Looks like effort stays in the high‑80s even as rest drops from 60 to 35. Keep rest at 40–45 for the 12‑rep sets, 35–40 for the 10‑rep sets, and stay at 35 for the 8‑rep sets—effort stays above 80. Maybe cut the 12‑rep rest a few more seconds after you hit 85+ on the 70‑lb set, but watch the 8‑rep reps; they’re already at 92–94, so that’s the sweet spot. Keep tweaking around those numbers and you’ll shave time without losing lift.
Boor
Good break. Keep the rest in that window, adjust weight up when effort dips. Track the next session and see if the totals cut. Keep it tight.
Spin
Got it, I’ll lock those rest windows and bump weight when effort drops. I’ll log the next session, keep the numbers tight, and cut time where I can. Let’s see if the totals actually shrink.
Boor
Make sure the logs stay tight and the rest windows stick. If the total time drops, that’s the sign you’re doing it right. Keep it consistent, no excuses.
