Latest training read

June 2026

Squat pattern and hip extension reached new highs. Horizontal press returned near its spring peak, and vertical press held above May. Lower-body press and horizontal pull stayed just under their May highs, but working-set volume on leg and hip patterns remained high.

How strength markers are calculated
