I have asked him this many times over different channels and never get a reply. I think it's hardly balanced that a squat 300lbx1 gets 110 points and 300lbx3 gets 161. Each rep on a triple is much harder than doing three singles, so this makes absolutely no sense to me.

I've heard the "we want to encourage certain rep ranges" argument, but I think this approach makes the game very imbalanced and rather discouraging.

Definitely agree that I'm not going to base my training on how many points I get, but I think the system should be more in tune with progress in general. For example, I swapped from SL to Madcow to 5/3/1. I was getting ~3-4K per workout on SL, then 2,5K, then I barely make it to 2K now. I am definitely much stronger than I used to, but I'm getting less points. This has driven me to not care about one of the core features of the site, which is really my point.
