Everything you wanted to know about progressive overload, 1RM calculations, and how REPDEMON tracks your strength training.
What is progressive overload?+
Progressive overload is the practice of gradually increasing the demands on your muscles during training. This can mean more weight, more reps, more sets, or shorter rest periods. RepDemon calculates the optimal progression automatically based on your 1RM and rep range.
How does REPDEMON calculate 1RM?+
RepDemon uses the Epley formula to calculate your estimated 1-rep max from any set. Formula: 1RM = weight × (1 + reps ÷ 30). After you log 3 movements (typically 9 sets), REPDEMON unlocks personalized 1RM calculations and weight recommendations.
Can I use REPDEMON offline?+
Yes. REPDEMON is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works completely offline. Log your workouts in the gym without an internet connection, and your sessions sync automatically when you reconnect.
Is REPDEMON free?+
REPDEMON is free during beta. A paid tier is coming in the future, but early users get priority access to premium features and beta pricing.
How many workouts until I unlock 1RM calculations?+
After you log 3 movements with at least 3 sets each (9 total sets), REPDEMON unlocks 1RM calculations, estimated max weights, and smart progression recommendations based on the Epley formula.
What are warm-up sets and how do I log them?+
Warm-up sets are lighter reps before your working sets to prepare your muscles and joints. Log them just like regular sets — REPDEMON tracks everything. Your working sets unlock 1RM calculations; warm-ups are there for safety and preparation.
What is The Pack (social system)?+
The Pack is our privacy-first training community (coming soon). Compare progress with friends using invite codes — no public leaderboards, no exposure. Training partners keep you accountable without sacrificing privacy.
Will REPDEMON sync with Google Calendar?+
Yes — Google Calendar integration is coming soon. Sync your training schedule from REPDEMON to Google Calendar for automatic workout reminders. Never miss a session.
What's the best way to build a custom workout split?+
Start with movements (add all exercises you'll use), then build workouts (assign movements to workout days), then create or assign to splits. This prevents duplicates and keeps your library clean. REPDEMON guides you through this workflow.
How do I get started if I'm a complete beginner?+
Start by logging any 3 movements — doesn't matter if you're new. After 9 total sets (3 movements × 3 sets), REPDEMON unlocks your personalized 1RM calculator and smart weight recommendations. You learn as you go.
