Track it with MyoAmigo

Barbell Squat progress: next session's target of 290 lb × 7, an estimated 1RM PR of 357 lb, rep maxes, and the e1RM trend chart
e1RM trend, per lift

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Kettlebell Halo from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Shoulders volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
