Hey Goodzilla, I’ve been compiling a set of workout metrics that map directly to measurable performance gains. I’d love to see if you’re up for testing a few of them to see how they stack up against your current routine.

Sure, here’s a concise chart of the metrics I recommend for quantifying workout performance. Take a look and let me know which one feels most actionable for your routine. | Metric | Formula | What It Captures | Typical Target | Notes | |--------|---------|------------------|----------------|-------| | Volume | Weight × Reps × Sets | Total work done | 5–10 % higher than last session | Focus on incremental increase | | Intensity | Avg Weight ÷ 1RM | Load relative to max | 70–85 % of 1RM | Keeps stress level predictable | | Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) | Scale 1–10 | Subjective effort | 7–8 for strength work | Cross‑check with heart rate | | Rest‑to‑Work Ratio | Rest Time ÷ Work Time | Recovery efficiency | 1:1 for hypertrophy | Longer rest may improve lift quality | | Training Efficiency Index (TEI) | (Volume × Intensity) ÷ Rest Time | Composite of work and recovery | Increase by 5 % each month | Useful for tracking overall progress | Feel free to plug in your own numbers, and I can help you interpret the data. Just let me know what you’d like to focus on first.
