One of the reasons why I love the Fitbod iOS app and a lot more "sophisticated" apps that use algorithms in general is because they can potentially detect these patterns and incorporate it into a workout. If you read the Fitbod blog, they have an article or two about some of the patterns they've picked up over the course of observing millions of data points over the past few years. It's not perfect and perhaps doesn't directly correlate to the size of one's muscles, but they have pretty good insights into what makes a human stronger. Part of my obsession with this is using algorithms and data to make our lives easier, in a seamless way, without having to constantly check or reread articles (unless it's for fun). And in such a way that's not intrusive (none of this streaks stuff or constantly checking in to an app every couple of hours).
