Arguments

reps

Numeric vector indicating reps prescription

adjustment

Numeric vector indicating adjustments. Forwarded to progression_table.

vertical_planning

Vertical planning function. Default is vertical_constant

vertical_planning_control

Arguments forwarded to the vertical_planning function

progression_table

Progression table function. Default is progression_perc_drop

progression_table_control

Arguments forwarded to the progression_table function

index

Numeric vector. If not provided, index will be create using sequence of step

step

Numeric vector

sets

Numeric vector. Used to replicate reps and adjustments

perc_1RM

Numeric vector of user provided 1RM percentage

n_steps

How many progression steps to generate? Default is 4

Value

Data frame with the following columns: reps, index, step, adjustment, and perc_1RM.

Functions

  • scheme_generic(): Generic set and rep scheme. scheme_generic is called in all other set and rep schemes - only the default parameters differ to make easier and quicker schemes writing and groupings

  • scheme_wave(): Wave set and rep scheme

  • scheme_plateau(): Plateau set and rep scheme

  • scheme_step(): Step set and rep scheme

  • scheme_step_reverse(): Reverse Step set and rep scheme

  • scheme_wave_descending(): Descending Wave set and rep scheme

  • scheme_light_heavy(): Light-Heavy set and rep scheme. Please note that the adjustment column in the output will be wrong, hence set to NA

  • scheme_pyramid(): Pyramid set and rep scheme

  • scheme_pyramid_reverse(): Reverse Pyramid set and rep scheme

  • scheme_rep_acc(): Rep Accumulation set and rep scheme

  • scheme_ladder(): Ladder set and rep scheme. Please note that the adjustment column in the output will be wrong, hence set to NA

  • scheme_manual(): Manual set and rep scheme

  • scheme_perc_1RM(): Manual %1RM set and rep scheme
