## A. BLOCK SNAPSHOT Client: PT-A01\ Discipline: Recreational strength training\ Review period: 1–28 September 2026 (4 weeks)\ Primary goal: Increase five-repetition goblet squat from 24 kg at RPE 8 to 32 kg at RPE 8 or less by the end of November 2026, while maintaining consistent attendance. Evidence coverage: Attendance records, two comparable strength assessments, coach observations and client feedback. Positive progress towards goal Verdict: Goblet squat and dumbbell bench press performance improved at unchanged reported effort and comparable technique. Attendance was generally consistent despite work travel. Progress towards the November target is encouraging, although continued improvement is not guaranteed. Unknowns: Training volume between assessments, session-by-session RPE trends and detailed recovery patterns. ## B. EVIDENCE SCORECARD | Indicator | Baseline / planned | Latest / actual | Verified change | Interpretation | Confidence | | ---------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | | Attendance | 12 sessions | 10 completed | 83.3% (10/12) | Good consistency; two missed through work travel. Logged. | HIGH | | Goblet squat | 24 kg × 5, RPE 8 | 28 kg × 5, RPE 8 | +4 kg (+16.7%) | Heavier load at equivalent effort, depth and technique. | MODERATE | | DB bench press | 16 kg/hand × 8, RPE 8 | 18 kg/hand × 8, RPE 8 | +2 kg/hand (+12.5%) | Improved external load at comparable effort and form. | MODERATE | | Squat technique | Initial observation | More consistent in weeks 3–4 | Qualitative improvement | Coach-observed improvement in bracing and depth. | MODERATE | | Recovery and enjoyment | No baseline | Moderate enjoyment; occasional late nights | Not assessable | Client-reported; no systematic recovery comparison. | LOW | Confidence reflects the available evidence, not statistical certainty. Strength changes are based on two comparable assessment points. ## C. COACH INTERPRETATION Positives 1. Goal-specific progress: Goblet squat increased by 4 kg at the same repetition count and RPE. The client has achieved half the 8 kg increase required for the November target. 2. Broader strength improvement: Dumbbell bench press load increased by 12.5% per hand, supporting a positive interpretation of upper-body performance. 3. Improved movement consistency: Coach observations indicate more reliable bracing and squat depth, particularly during the final two weeks. Issues and uncertainties 1. Limited repeated measurement: Two comparable strength assessments support improvement but do not establish a reliable rate of future progression. 2. Travel-related disruption: Two sessions were missed because of work travel. Further travel is expected during week two of the next block. 3. Recovery monitoring: Occasional late nights may affect training readiness, but the available information does not establish a performance effect. No pain was reported. ## D. NEXT-BLOCK DECISION BOARD Next review block: Four weeks, with three usual weekly sessions and anticipated travel in week two. | Rank / priority | Evidence / rationale | Coaching action | Monitor | Review point | | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | | 1. Progress cautiously: goblet squat | 24 → 28 kg at RPE 8; November goal remains 32 kg. | Maintain consistent depth and bracing. Progress load when technique and perceived effort support it. | Load × 5 reps, RPE, depth and bracing. | Weekly; formal comparison at week 4. | | 2. Retain: training consistency | 83.3% attendance; work travel caused both missed sessions. | Agree a flexible training arrangement for travel week, prioritising realistic session completion. | Planned versus completed sessions and reasons for changes. | End of week 2 and week 4. | | 3. Investigate: recovery consistency | Client reports occasional late nights; limited recovery data. | Introduce a brief pre-session sleep/readiness check and adapt demanding work when indicated. | Sleep quality, readiness, session RPE and performance. | Weekly; assess patterns at week 4. | ## E. HANDOVER Three useful questions for the next review: 1. Training exposure: How many working sets and repetitions were completed for the main lifts during the block? 2. Travel planning: Which days will be unavailable during week two, and is a shorter session feasible? 3. Recovery: Are late nights associated with noticeably greater fatigue or difficulty completing sessions? Data-quality note: Standardise exercise setup, repetitions, depth and RPE recording for subsequent comparisons. Remove unnecessary identifying information before sharing client records with AI services. ## F. CLIENT MESSAGE You've made encouraging progress over the last four weeks, particularly with your strength training. Your goblet squat has increased from 24 kg to 28 kg for five repetitions, while maintaining the same reported effort and full depth. Your dumbbell bench press has also improved from 16 kg to 18 kg per hand. Just as importantly, your bracing and squat consistency have looked better towards the end of the block. You completed 10 of your 12 planned sessions, with the two missed sessions explained by work travel. Over the next four weeks, we'll focus on building towards your November squat target without compromising technique. We'll also plan around your upcoming travel and pay closer attention to sleep and recovery. The aim is to keep progressing at a manageable pace while maintaining training consistency. ## G.
