i have updated the app to provide a regression and auto-calculate the warm-up and progression from a lower working weight

@Stuie Bee @Gary Le Rosbifs idea

@Stuie Bee it can but on the concentric part you aren't as strong, so it will highlight any areas of weakness or imbalance.

@Stuie Bee I don't know why any doc would prescribe that garbage NSAIDs 🤢 prostaglandin suppression, gut irritation, kidney stress, blood pressure effects, or CNS side‑effects

A bit more reading 😁 DEFINITION AND OVERVIEW Creatine (chemically known as methylguanidine-acetic acid, N-(aminoiminomethyl)-N-methylglycine, or C4H9N3O2) is a naturally occurring, non-protein amino acid derivative. First isolated from beef in 1832 by the French chemist Michel Eugène Chevreul, it is now one of the most extensively researched and scientifically validated nutritional ergogenic aids in the world. It is an organic acid synthesized endogenously by the human body and obtained exogenously through the diet, primarily from animal muscle meats like beef, pork, poultry, and fish (such as herring and salmon). To obtain the amount of creatine found in a standard supplement scoop (about 5 grams), an individual would need to consume approximately 1.3 kilograms (nearly 3 pounds) of beef or six chicken breasts. Because of this, supplementation is highly popular. The body’s total creatine pool for an average 70 kg adult is around 120 to 140 grams. Approximately 95% of this pool is stored in skeletal muscle tissue—roughly 66% as phosphocreatine (PCr) and 33% as free creatine. The remaining 5% is distributed among highly metabolically active tissues, including the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, and testes. The supplement market offers numerous variations and sub-types of creatine, though clinical evidence heavily favors one specific form: - Creatine Monohydrate (CrM): The absolute gold standard of creatine supplements. It consists of a creatine molecule bound to a water molecule, making it about 88% pure creatine by weight. It boasts nearly 100% bioavailability, is exceptionally safe, and is the cheapest form available (costing around $0.05 to $0.12 per day). - Creatine Hydrochloride (HCl): Creatine bound with hydrochloric acid. It is highly soluble in water and is marketed as requiring a smaller dose (e.g., 750 mg) while causing less stomach bloating. However, human outcome data do not show superior performance or higher muscle saturation compared to monohydrate, and it costs significantly more. - Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE): Marketed for superior bioavailability by attaching an ester group to make it more fat-soluble. Research actually shows it is chemically unstable in the body and degrades rapidly into the waste product creatinine rather than being absorbed by muscle, making it inferior to monohydrate. - Buffered Creatine (Kre-Alkalyn): Monohydrate with added alkaline powder (like magnesium) to raise the pH, marketed to prevent breakdown in stomach acid. Clinical trials explicitly conclude it does not promote greater retention or performance than standard monohydrate. - Creatine Nitrate: Binds creatine to a nitrate molecule to provide the saturation benefits of creatine along with the vasodilation (blood flow or "pump") benefits of nitrates. - Creatine ATP: A complex combining creatine monohydrate with disodium adenosine triphosphate (ATP), typically dosed at 3-5g creatine with 400mg disodium ATP. It shows promise in improving blood flow and generating strength. - Micronized Creatine: Standard monohydrate ground into particles up to 20 times smaller, improving water solubility and potentially reducing gastrointestinal discomfort or grittiness. - Liquid Creatine / Serums: Suspended in liquid, these formulations are inherently unstable and consistently break down into creatinine before consumption, rendering them largely ineffective. - Creatine Chelates (e.g., Magnesium Chelate): Binds creatine to magnesium to theoretically enhance absorption and support hydration, though evidence of superiority is lacking.

Many thanks, it was a pleasure to finally meet up 😁

Depends on how you are doing what you are doing 😁

If you get chance send me a video of each exercise 👍 See if we can tweak anything.
