How to approach strength coach software for percentage prescriptions

Focus on the coaching workflow first: program delivery, client execution, progress review, and the next edit.

Judge whether percentages sit beside the max and logs

A useful percentage-prescription surface shows assigned % of training-max work next to the current max and the sets clients logged. If percentages live as bare numbers while the max stays in a separate sheet, every review rebuilds working intent from memory. Evaluate whether the product keeps those percentages on the program and log coaches already use.

Prefer readable % work over a max field alone

Good percentage tools make the assigned intensity ladder readable after the max updates, so clients do not open a program of vague loads. Prefer software that keeps % prescriptions attached to the assigned plan over a training-max field that never shows which percentages drive the week.

Separate percentage prescriptions from training maxes and progressive overload

Training-max software evaluates whether an updated TM/e1RM stays readable beside the program. Progressive-overload software evaluates planned vs performed visibility across targets and logs. Percentage-prescription software is narrower: it evaluates whether % of TM work stays readable beside a visible max and performed sets—not whether the max field exists, and not whether the overload chart is clear.

Where Lyfta Coach fits

Lyfta Coach can be evaluated when coaches need percentage prescriptions beside assigned programs and individual workout logs, not only as a training-max field with no readable % work or a progressive-overload chart alone.
