1. Programme using percentage 1RM strength tests

   Is there anything on the road map where as coaches we would be able to programme strength based movements from an athletes 1RM. My understanding and chatting to one of the sales directors is that the current limitations are reps sets and RPE. But it would be really useful to add a % of their 1RM aligned to the type of strength training.

   Seeing as %'s of thresholds and zone training can already be done, is this something that will be coming for strength training?

2. Strength Metrics

   I scrolled through the feedback and ideas of others, and it looks like you are making great efforts to make changes, so thank you TrainingPeaks Team!

   If you have not already, I suggest looking at the App, Strong. They have a really great format, but I'd rather use TrainingPeaks because it's nice having both my cardio and strength workouts in one area. The new Strength app from TP is very good! For me to really love it and not want to supplement elsewhere, here is what I think could be useful.

   1) Heart Rate monitoring during exercise - I am assuming this is easier said than done because of software related tasks between a smartwatch and TP integration. Tracking sets live from the phone and HR from the watch in Realtime I think would be awesome, but I can imagine that is a challenge in of itself. I've done the rep and set tracking from Garmin's workout platform and that takes you too much out of the moment.

   2) Being able to add exercises to a scheduled workout while in the workout. Sometimes we need to make changes during a workout and you can't do that currently. My only work around is to list every exercise I think I could do when building a workout, save it, and then leave workouts I do not do blank. I also have no way of adding a set.

   3) Labeling a set as a warm up set, a working set, or a drop set. The ability to label if you went to failure, and a RPE. These are features the Strong app has. Very easy to label it in between sets.

   4) Having the previous history of the lifts (sets, reps, and weights) shown. This is also something the Strong app has.

   I hope this helps and that it doesn't sound like I am overly critiquing. Really love the TP platform and would like to keep everything in one place.

3. Prescribe rep ranges in New Strength Builder

   Please allow specifying a rep range for strength workout exercises, not just a target rep. The New Strength Builder is a great step in the right direction to fully-functional programming of strength workouts in TrainingPeaks, but it is still missing critical features like this.

   Being able to specify the rep range is important for communicating and adhering to the workout plan. For example, if the coach programs 4 reps with the mindset of "at least 4" and the athlete executes 3 because it is "about 4", this is quite different than if the coach programs 15 reps intending a range of 15-20 and the athlete completes 14 because the last was a failed rep. While this can be typed out using the coach's notes, it's easier when creating many workouts to be able to use the UI to do so.

4. New strength workout builder to allow modifications once a workout has started

   Currently once you start a workout which has been created in the new strength workout builder, you cannot alter some of the key parameters (e.g. adding sets, merging to create supersets, etc). This kind of functionality is so useful (and is built into the free versions of apps like 'Strength Log'). It would be great to have this available as part of the TP version.

   Also not sure why you can only create the workout on the desktop app, and then only execute it on the mobile app?

5. Include RPE as a prescription parameter in strength workouts

   To prescribe strength workouts using RPE, you have to enter these details in the coaching comments section...this is a laborious and inflexible solution to programming strength workouts using RPE (like the endurance workout builder allows).

   My suggestion is to include RPE as a parameter in building strength workouts. This would vastly improve each workout's flexibility, precision, and presentation.

6. strength

   Love the new strength training interface. Is there a way that the new strength training feature can pull up old history of weights used in past workouts? That would be a helpful feature for clients to see what they did last sessions with the same exercise

7. Uploaded strength workouts to sync with programmed strength workouts using new strength programming feature

   Ability to have uploaded strength workouts auto sync with the new strength programming sessions programmed for athletes in their programs as currently it keeps them separated and cannot lync/sync them together to be completed unless you check off each and every exercise.
