The sharp drop off in 2020 is when gyms shut down for COVID. Thought the data was kind of fun to look at! App used to track data and generate the graph is called FitNotes.

For those who might be wondering, the app I use to track my
workouts is called FitNotes. Very nice and easy to use and
backs up to the cloud!
nice, this really shows consistency! I don’t think I have a habit that could be tracked this way lol
What type of training program do you use?
That’s what I want to know.
You know what I learned from this?
Squat.
The axis legends are not that beautiful to me, as they leave me guessing…
Congrats on 4 plates! I’m surprised progress after the covid break wasn’t faster than before, it looks about the same rate. I thought muscle memory would have you back faster at 350lbs.
Why the huge variation even in small windows? Is that just your working weight for any given workout? For example, you have about a 220 measurement in close proximity to your 420 max… Is the 420 your one rep max, while the 220 was multiple sets of more reps or something? Or a recovery day?
Not beautiful and also makes very little sense. No one’s 1RM fluctuates 100lbs up and down every week for like a year straight.
Me, every time I see data from the last decade: “Hmm I wonder what happened in 2020….”

My version but in KG
Would be interesting to see your bodyweight overlap here.
Why would you not plot actuals, rather than this estimated 1 rep max? You are plotting “this is what you could achieve”, which doesn’t really mean much on a 6 year basis.
Inspiring stuff. I used to work out a lot but let myself go, planning to give it another shot soon.
I can’t help but feel this would look a lot more logical with some kind of rolling average? It’s not like your 1 rep max actually went up and down like that.
For awhile there you didn’t do squat.
