Wodify identifies personal records (PR) for every Gymnastics, Weightlifting, Weightlifting Total, and benchmarked Metcon completed by each client. PRs are identified by a gold badge that is located next to the result on both the Coachboard and the Whiteboard.
Note: PRs are only tracked after the client completes the same exercise or metcon more than one time.
In this article, we will cover:
- Gymnastics
- Weightlifting Totals
- Weightlifting
- Timed Metcons
- AMRAP Metcons
- Set a New Start Date for PR Calculation
Gymnastics
Gymnastics PRs are determined by most reps only.
Weightlifting Totals
Weightlifting Totals PRs are determined by most total weight.
Weightlifting
There are three ways to PR on a weightlifting exercise:
- This is the heaviest weight you've ever used for this exercise. (WEIGHT BASED)
- This is the most weight you've moved at these reps UNLESS you've moved more weight at higher reps. (WEIGHT AND REP BASED)
- You've completed more sets at the same weight and reps as a previous result. (VOLUME BASED)
Below is an example of one client’s performance history for Back Squats:
Past Performance
| Exercise | Date< | Sets | Reps | Weight |
| Back Squat | 1/1 | 5 | 5 | 270 lbs |
| Back Squat | 1/7 | 2 | 4 | 255 lbs |
| Back Squat | 2/1 | 1 | 5 | 280 lbs |
| Back Squat | 3/1 | 1 | 1 | 325 lbs |
| Back Squat | 3/15 | 2 | 2 | 295 lbs |
Below are four different results for the same client. Taken on their own accord and compared to the past performance table above, are the results below PRs?
| Date | Sets | Reps | Weight | Is it a PR? | Explanation |
| 4/1 | 4 | 1 | 350 lbs | Yes | WEIGHT BASED This is the most weight ever moved. |
| 4/1 | 1 | 5 | 290 lbs | Yes | WEIGHT & REP BASED Prior to this lift, the most lifted at 5 reps was 280 lbs |
| 4/1 | 3 | 2 | 295 lbs | Yes | VOLUME BASED Beat the 3/15 performance by 1 set. |
| 4/1 | 2 | 4 | 260 lbs | No | Although this is 5 lbs heavier than the 1/7 performance; we have moved more weight for more reps on 1/1 and 2/1. |
Timed Metcons
RX Metcon results will have PRs. Non-RX Metcons are NOT PR. Below is one client's performance history for Fran: Past Performance
| Metcon | Date | Time | RX |
| Fran | 1/1 | 6:07 | ☐ |
| Fran | 2/1 | 5:32 | ☐ |
| Fran | 3/1 | 7:15 | ✔ |
Taken on their own and compared to past performance, are the below results PRs?
| A | 4/1 | 5:12 | ☐ | No |
| B | 4/1 | 6:10 | ☐ | No |
| C | 4/1 | 7:32 | ✔ | No |
| D | 4/1 | 7:02 | ✔ | Yes |
Explaining the PRs
A: Result A is not a PR because it was not performed as RX.
B: Result B is not a PR because it was not performed as RX.
C: Result C is NOT a PR because it is slower than the fastest RX Fran time posted by our Client. Result C’s time of 7:32 is slower than the fastest RX result, 7:15.
D: Result D is a PR because it is faster than the previous best RX Fran time by our Client. Result D’s time of 7:02 is faster than the previous RX record, which was 7:15.
AMRAP Metcons
RX Metcon results will have PRs. Non-RX Metcons are NOT PR. Below is one client's performance history for Tabata: Past Performance
| Metcon | Date | Time< | RX |
| Fran | 1/1 | 0+350 | ☐ |
| Fran | 2/1 | 0+362 | ☐ |
| Fran | 3/1 | 0+300 | ✔ |
Taken on their own and compared to past performance, are the results below PRs?
| Result | Date | Reps / Rounds | RX | Is it a PR? |
| A | 4/1 | 0+370 | ☐ | No |
| B | 4/1 | 0+333 | ☐ | No |
| C | 4/1 | 0+290 | ✔ | No |
| D | 4/1 | 0+307 | ✔ | Yes |
Explaining the PRs
A: Result A is not a PR because it was not performed as RX.
B: Result B is not a PR because it was not performed as RX.
C: Result C is NOT a PR because it has fewer reps than the best RX Tabata This! result posted by our Client. Result C’s total of 290 reps is fewer than the highest RX result, which is 300 reps.
D: Result D is a PR because it has more reps than the previous best RX Tabata This! result by our Client. Result D’s total of 307 reps is more than the previous RX record, which was 300 reps.
Setting a New Set a New Start Date for PR Calculation
We know that sometimes you may need to reset your PR calculation date. If you are returning from injury, getting back in the swing of things after pregnancy, or just don't have the same strength you had when you were 21, you can choose a new date to begin PR calculations.
Only workouts scored after this date will be eligible for PR tracking, to ensure you have a more accurate understanding of your current performance.
To reset your date:
- Open up the Wodify mobile app
- Click on the hamburger icon in the top left of the screen
- Click on Settings
- Go to Manage Personal Records
- Select the date you want to start tracking your PRs
- On the confirmation screen, select Yes
