Loom follow-ups: all answered

From your 2026-07-11 walkthrough videos + a follow-up chat. Nothing needed unless something below is wrong.

Chris — the videos plus one conversation covered everything. Here's what we're encoding, so you can sanity-check it in ten seconds:

1. 1. Max effort percentages run off the day's target, not a stored 1RM. You set the target together — around where the athlete was last time, adjusted for how they feel that day — and sets 1–6 scale to it. The whole build is designed so you don't fail: "there's always tomorrow."
2. 2. Speed work and 8x8 percentages use "the most obvious 1RM." If the exact variation (bands, specialty bar, mods) has a tested max, use that; otherwise fall back toward the core lift's max. Specific first, core lift as the backstop.
3. 3. Misses get marked and the session moves on. No redo, no rewriting the plan mid-session. Avoid failure, ride the edge of effort.
4. 4. After week 3, a new wave starts. Testing the movement in week 4 or 5 — sometimes after a week away from it — is your call, not a rule.
