# Strength coach software for training maxes

Training-max software for strength coaches should keep an updated training max or e1RM readable beside percentage prescriptions and performed sets on the assigned program. This page helps you evaluate that placement—not a one-off e1RM calculator that never lands on the program, and not progressive-overload software that mainly charts planned vs performed load/reps/targets.

Audience: online strength coaches who prescribe percentages from a training max or e1RM and need that max beside logged sets
Intent: software evaluation
Cluster: Strength programming

## Judge whether the training max sits beside percentages and logs

A useful training-max surface shows the current TM or e1RM next to the percentage prescriptions clients open and the sets they logged. If the max lives only in an offline sheet while the program shows bare percentages, every review rebuilds the working weights from memory. Evaluate whether the product keeps that updated max on the program and log coaches already use.

## Prefer a lasting program max over a calculator screenshot

Good training-max tools make the base that drives percentages editable after recent hard sets, so clients do not chase loads from a stale estimate. Prefer software that keeps the updated max attached to the assigned plan over a one-off calculator result that never replaces the sheet coaches still reopen each week.

## Separate training maxes from e1RM calculators and progressive overload

An e1RM calculator estimates a max from a recent set for a quick load suggestion. Progressive-overload software evaluates planned vs performed visibility across targets and logs. Training-max software is narrower: it evaluates whether an updated TM/e1RM stays readable beside percentage prescriptions and performed sets—not whether the calculator math is handy, and not whether the overload chart is clear.

## Where Lyfta Coach fits

Lyfta Coach can be evaluated when coaches need an updated training max beside assigned percentage programs and individual workout logs, not only as an offline e1RM sheet or a one-off calculator result.

## FAQ

### What should strength coach training-max software include?

A way to keep an updated training max or e1RM readable beside percentage prescriptions and performed sets on the assigned program so coaches can refresh the base without rebuilding loads from a separate sheet.

### How is this different from an e1RM calculator?

An e1RM calculator estimates a max from a recent set for a quick load suggestion. This page evaluates whether that lasting training max stays attached to the program and logs clients open each week.

### When do coaches need training-max software instead of progressive overload tools?

When percentage prescriptions should move from an updated TM/e1RM beside the log, not only from a planned-vs-performed chart. If coaches keep retyping the max from a sheet while the assigned percentages stay stale, the training max belongs on the program beside the log.
