Automated Metrics Are Awesome - PRs Matter

PRs matter because PRs measure progress toward your or your clients' goals. They let you know you're on the right track (or they indicate a change is needed).

You first must develop goals based on your deep motivations and values. Then, decide on metrics that align with this goal. If these metrics increase - if you hit PRs - you are moving closer toward your goals.

Over time, you'll need to reassess your goals and PRs. You may get injured or reach a point where all-time, outright PRs are behind you (no more 1RMs). This is okay.

What you'll have to do is create new PRs to track. Maybe you track PRs after 40. You could track PRs at your lighter weight. Tracking volume PRs, consistency PRs, PRs at different rep & set schemes, or PRs for accessory or supplemental lifts could help you assess progress toward your goals.

Ultimately, PRs motivate clients and measure progress toward goals, indicating if you and your client are on the right path, or you need to change something.

Automated Metrics Are Awesome - Efficient & Effective

Don't go out of your way to remember client PRs - track them automatically. How?

TurnKey Coach automatically tracks PRs across different rep and set schemes, for conditioning, and for consistency. As you provide video feedback, the PRs appear on the screen at the top. It's the first thing to notice and celebrate with your client.

In your programming, you can scroll through PRs for a certain lift and aim for a PR that is there for the taking. For example, a client's last 1RM and 5RM were all-out, RPE 10 grinders. The client, though, may not have gone for a 3RM for a long time. Instead of trying to eke out a small 1RM or 5RM PR that might not be there, go for the easier 3RM PR.

0:20.0	Welcome to the show. Hey you're listening to the Barbic
0:34.8	Loga podcast. I'm your host Matt Reynolds. This is another episode of the
0:37.3	coaching success series and I want to talk today about why PR's matter, the personal record or as my good friends in the UK call it a
0:47.2	P.B. Personal Best, I think. And so some of you may not have heard this story, but really the reason that we developed
0:56.8	turnkey coach from the very beginning was because there wasn't anything on the market for us that actually collected all of the client
1:06.8	metrics, automated metrics, right?
1:09.3	And so the third party software is that we had had used you had to input PRs manually and that was difficult
1:17.0	and you can imagine coaches would often forget to actually input those PRs even if if they did, they often only collected,
1:24.4	you know, maybe a one rep max or three rep max
1:26.6	or five rep max or something on the main lifts.
1:29.5	And we wanted to see PRs on all the lifts
1:32.2	and all the sets and reps games and all the things and that just wasn't doable in those other
1:36.9	software and that was really because those other third-party softwares the programming was all in a single
1:41.9	text box so in one text box you would write you know squat
1:46.4	3-5 at 235 whatever and so one of the very first things like the main reason we started to develop our own software
1:55.2	was so that we could auto collect all of the metrics.
1:58.6	And so we separated out the exercise, the sets, the reps, and the weight.
2:05.0	And you could even do reps, like you can add am rap,
