TRN/LOG progression engine · Open calculators

The math behind
the bar.

Test the exact rules TRN/LOG runs in the gym: estimated maxes from reps in reserve, fewest-plate bar loading, comeback ramps after time off, and strength relative to bodyweight.

01 · Estimated 1RM & working weights

Reps left in
the tank.

A set of 8 with 2 reps left in the tank (2 RIR) is 10 reps to failure. TRN/LOG averages the Epley, Lombardi and Brzycki multipliers so the estimate holds across rep ranges and inverts cleanly when setting next week’s weight.

02 · Equipment-aware plate calculator

Weights you
can load.

A prescription of 83.7 kg is useless in a gym. TRN/LOG resolves every target to the closest load your bar and plates actually make, breaking ties downward so a 2-RIR set never turns into a grinder.

03 · Comeback ramp after a break

Ease back in
after time off.

After 14+ days away from a lift, jumping straight back to your old top set is the rep you fail or the one that hurts. TRN/LOG tracks each lift’s clock independently and ramps you back to 100% over two to four sessions.

  4. Session 4 · Full progression resumes100 kg 100%

Session 1 adds +1 RIR in reserve, and the first 2 sessions drop 1 working set per lift.

04 · Bodyweight trend & relative strength

Strength vs.
bodyweight.

Scale weight jumps a kilo or two on water alone. In Progress → Body, TRN/LOG smooths weigh-ins into a 7-day trend, compares your estimated maxes against it, and tells you plainly whether your cut or bulk is on track.
