Hey Lawrence, nice job! I find it funny, that TUL is more accurate than reps for assessment of a workout, but is equally inaccurate when one tries to measure it accurately by himself , when training alone. And being nothing more than a measurement, it becomes completely useless if it becomes a major focus point, thus distracting, from the real objective of exercise etc.
