NOYU works out your records from your completed working sets each time you look, so editing an old session updates them. Your latest appear under Exercises on the Strength screen, and each exercise page has its own Progress, Records and History.
Why a set did not get a record
- You marked it a warm-up. Warm-ups hold no records.
- You equalled your best. You have to beat a record, not match it.
- You did more than 12 repetitions, for estimated 1RM.
How estimated 1RM works
Estimated 1RM predicts the most weight you could lift once, from your strongest working set in a session. NOYU uses the Epley formula: weight multiplied by one plus the repetitions divided by 30, so 100 kg for 5 gives about 117 kg. The formula is unreliable above 12 repetitions, so higher-rep sets get no estimate. Treat it as a guide, not a tested maximum.
Do bodyweight exercises count my weight?
Pull-ups, chin-ups, dips and assisted pull-ups do, because you lift all of yourself. NOYU adds any added weight and takes off assistance. Push-ups and bodyweight squats move part of you, so they hold a Most reps record instead. NOYU takes your bodyweight from your latest scale reading or logged weight, and a finished session keeps the value you completed it at.
The progress chart
It plots your best set from each session, using estimated 1RM where it can, and needs two sessions before it draws anything.
