Context Below are my recorded workouts going back almost 3 years, using the Strong app. Nearly every single movement I have performed in the gym is recorded here with the exception of some warmup sets. It would be interesting if anyone could find any useful patterns, surprisingly insights, or tips for getting stronger. Content Some things to keep in mind when analyzing the data: - All units are in pounds. - I generally followed a push-pull-legs-rest-repeat (PPL) split, although not necessarily in that order. As you will see, I followed a generally consistent program over this time but with deviations in reps/sets. Some days I had little energy due to illness, work, lack of sleep, or other events. - Assume I weight 220LBs for body weight activities - dips, chin-ups, neutral grips chin-ups, and pull-ups. Any value you see for 'weight' in the dataset for these types of exercises can be thought of as added weight. For example, "70" would mean 220+70=290LBs. - Dumbbell weights are the combined weight of both arms. For example, a dumbbell bench using 100s would be recorded as 200 pounds. - Some of the same exercises may be entered with different names. For example, "Lateral Raise (Dumbbell)" and "Lateral Raise (Dumbbells)" are the same exercise just entered with different names. - A proxy for one-rep-max can be found below. This may be useful in comparing strength levels over time from the same exercise but at different rep ranges. I encourage you to look at this from other angles as well. MAX = WEIGHT /(1.0278 - 0.0278*reps) - Not every set or exercise is performed to the absolute maximum number of reps possible at that time. Sometimes I am fatigued from work, previous sets/workouts, plan on doing a higher volume day, or plan for a slight backoff day. I think this is common sense, but just stating so. - Any dumbbell movement is generally recorded as the combined weight of both arms. For example, using a dumbbell bent press - Anything that looks extreme is likely a typo. For example a lift in the 1000s of pounds is a typo. - Warmups are generally not recorded. - I wouldn't read too much into workout names as these are generally a close categorization of legs/push/pull. - I rarely do cardio, but have managed to walk about 2.75 miles per day consistently over this time. Within the last 2 months, I have begun to bike approximately 30 miles per week. Acknowledgements Data is exported from the STRONG app, which is a great way to track your workouts. Inspiration I hope this dataset is of use to anyone interested in fitness. It would be awesome if this can be of use to others either in improving their own fitness, understanding the complexity of designing routines, and especially if any valuable insights can be generated to improve moving forward.
