# Strength coach software for percentage prescriptions

Percentage-prescription software for strength coaches should keep % of training-max work readable beside a visible training max and performed sets on the assigned program. This page helps you evaluate that placement—not training-max software that mainly surfaces the TM/e1RM field itself, and not progressive-overload software that mainly charts planned vs performed load/reps/targets.

Audience: online strength coaches who assign % of training-max work and need those percentages readable beside the max and logs
Intent: software evaluation
Cluster: Strength programming

## 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.

## FAQ

### What should strength coach percentage-prescription software include?

A way to keep % of training-max work readable beside a visible training max and performed sets on the assigned program so coaches can assign intensity without rebuilding intent from a separate sheet.

### How is this different from training-max software?

Training-max software evaluates whether an updated TM/e1RM stays attached to the program. This page evaluates whether the percentage ladder driven by that max stays readable beside the max and logs.

### When do coaches need percentage-prescription software instead of progressive overload tools?

When clients should open clear % of TM work beside the log, not only a planned-vs-performed chart. If coaches keep rewriting percentages from a sheet while the assigned program shows bare loads, the percentage ladder belongs on the program beside the max and log.
