Ideal target weight training recommendation system and method

A computer-implemented and resistance-implemented method for recommending an ideal number of repetitions and an ideal target resistance value for a weight-training routine, the method comprising the steps:

• providing at least one resistance structure with a resistance value and operably configured to be manipulated by a user for an exercise routine;
• providing a mobile electronic device of the user with a software application resident thereon, the mobile electronic device operably configured to communicatively couple with a server computer over a network, the mobile electronic device of the user and the server computer each having a processor and memory operably coupled thereto;
• manipulating the at least one resistance structure by the user until a muscle fatigue is reached employing a recommended proper resistance use protocol for the exercise routine and ascertaining a number of initial completed repetitions associated with the resistance value;
• generating a strength curve based on the completed repetitions, and the resistance value of the resistance structure, whereby the repetitions comprise a user-defined x-intercept variable, and the weight values comprise a user-data defined y-intercept variable;
• initiating the software application to generate a user interface on the mobile electronic device;
• utilizing the number of initial completed repetitions on the user interface of the software application to generate, with one of a plurality of user-data defined y-intercept approximation functions, a baseline strength coefficient, the resistance value divided by the baseline strength coefficient to generate a baseline strength value;
• utilizing the baseline strength value on the user interface of the software application to generate a plurality of ideal target resistance values utilizing the one of the plurality of user-data defined y-intercept approximation functions, each involving a plurality of user-selected desired target repetition values;
• manipulating by the user, during a plurality of subsequent sets involving the recommended proper resistance structure use protocol for the exercise routine, the at least one resistance structure associated with the plurality of ideal target weight values, respectively, that are each rounded to the nearest whole number and for the greater of the plurality of user-selected desired target repetition values or until a muscle fatigue is reached to generate second completed repetition values for each of the plurality of subsequent sets;
• and
• plotting the rounded plurality of ideal target weight values with respect to the second completed repetition values for each of the plurality of subsequent sets to generate another of the plurality of user-data defined y-intercept approximation functions dictated by a highest coefficient of determination.
