Are progressions supposed to increase `weight` when percentages of `1rm` are used? about liftosaur HOT 3 OPEN

That's expected behavior :) The program gets updated when you finish workouts, and it runs the scripts. So, if you change weights, reps, timer, RPE, etc in progress, it rewrites the program text - because the program text is also a reflection of the current state of a program. I thought about having the program text and the program state separated, but couldn't find a non-confusing and easy-to-use way to do so...

progress: lp(5kg) is a linear progression, so it adds 5lb to the current weight, but not to 1RM. Usually you want to update 1RM during 1RM testing, which doesn't happen every workout. So yeah, it will rewrite your 60% of 1RM to something like 75kg after applying the progression.

And if you don't like that - you can always switch to a custom script, which you did :)

I see, thanks for the quick reply!
I guess it would be nice to add to the docs that percentages will be replaced? Or did I just miss that?

Btw, would you be interested in adding more popular programs to the list of built-in programs? I implemented Madcow 5x5 and 5/3/1 Boring But Big, and I'd be happy to give them to you once I've tested them in the gym.

Maybe I missed it, will check!
