Seated Calf Raises - 3x(15-20) @ 65-75%



65-75% of what? You know your calf raise max, dog?

What's the grip config on the BP look like? Alternating between narrow, medium, wide? What about speed of the lift? Are there dynamic effort days and max effort days? All rhetorical questions right now, but it helps show some of the knowledge holes. Does it just crawl websites like Men's Health and the like? It sure seems like it.

Use percentages when you increase weights, not just 5#.


I didn't request it to get that granular, but I absolutely believe it could've dug deeper. I just gave it some general goals, guidelines, and limitations.

You can review the sources. I know for the estimated 1RM on lifts that I haven't done before, it mainly used Strengthlevel.com. If I recall correctly, it compared the 1RM of my backsquat and deadlift to approximate a 1RM to use for calf raises.

Gemini provided the estimated 1RM for seated and standing calf raises. Assuming the TM% and rep table is accurate, the provided STANDING Calf Raise 1RM was spot on. Where as the SEATED calf raises 1RM wasn't even in the ballpark.

I think this is where you have to validate the data AI provides. There are too many variations in equipment. Since it used StrengthLevel.com as it's main source for calculating the estimated 1RM (and it's driven by user provided data), there is no telling what equipment was used when people reported their numbers.

Careful with “never” with AI.

You can upload a series of images to ChatGPT for a form check. Add in any weaknesses, sore body parts, and particular goals, and it can provide high level advice.

The trick is knowing how to prompt it. That requires a vocabulary, and most people won’t know what to ask. But AI can absolutely become an expert in fitness coaching.
