SETTING UP YOUR PROFILE
To get accurate strength standards and scores, you need to set up your profile. Tap the avatar icon at the top of the Overview screen to get started.
Bodyweight & Units: Entering your body weight is required to calculate your strength-to-weight ratios and figure out your strength class. You also choose LBS or KG here, which sets the default weight measurement used for logging sets and viewing charts everywhere in the app.
Gender: Ensures the app uses the correct standardized formulas (Male or Female) when calculating your powerlifting scores.
Scoring Formula: Choose how you want to score your overall strength compared to other lifters. IPF GL is the current international standard, DOTS is highly accurate and widely used, and WILKS is a well-known older standard.
Elite Data Packets (aka Hall of Fame)
The app automatically finds your best sets and saves them to your Hall of Fame. Because progress isn't just about the heaviest weight on the bar, the app uses two distinct leaderboards to track your top performances.
Most Work (Volume): This leaderboard tracks the maximum tonnage you have generated in a single set. Tonnage is calculated by multiplying the weight by the number of reps (e.g., 225 lbs × 10 reps = 2,250 lbs of total work).
Heaviest Lift (Intensity): This leaderboard tracks pure strength. It looks through your workout history for the absolute heaviest weight you have ever lifted for a specific exercise.
(Note: You have full control over what exercises appear here. If you want to hide a specific exercise from your records just head to the Tools tab, open the Module Arsenal, select the exercise, and toggle its Hall of Fame visibility off.)
Recent History Debrief
This section acts as a quick-reference log of your most recent training sessions. Instead of digging through a full calendar or history tab, you can instantly see exactly what you've accomplished over the last couple of days.
Live System Capacity (PCr Recovery)
This meter acts as a real-time "gas tank" for your workout. It models your phosphocreatine (PCr) system—the primary energy source your muscles rely on for short, heavy lifting.
How it Works
Burning Fuel: Logging a set immediately drains your capacity. The harder the set (higher RPE), the more energy you burn.
Live Recovery: As you rest, your energy refills in real-time. The longer you wait between sets, the more fuel you get back.
Permanent Fatigue: You never recover 100%. Every set you do causes a small amount of permanent fatigue, which slightly lowers your maximum energy "ceiling" for the rest of the workout. Going to absolute failure (RPE 10) permanently damages this ceiling much faster than stopping a rep or two early.How to Read the Meter
The Solid Bar: Your currently available, usable energy.
The Ghost Bar (Faded): Your current maximum ceiling. This is the empty space your solid bar is actively refilling into while you rest.
The Gray Space: Permanent fatigue. Your tank can no longer fill past this point until your next training day.Use the meter to pace your workout. Instead of guessing how long to rest, watch the meter refill and wait for the solid bar to hit the ghost ceiling before starting your next heavy set.
Because this recovery system is so dynamic, I've built an interactive widget below that mimics the exact math engine running in your app. You can click the buttons to log sets and take rests to see exactly how the HP bar, the ghost ceiling, and permanent fatigue interact!
Today's Performance Charts
When you select "Today" in the Performance Matrix, the dashboard acts as a live monitor for the exercise you are currently performing. It breaks down your active workout using two distinct charts to show you exactly how hard you are pushing.
Set Intensity (Weight vs. Max)
This chart tracks the absolute weight of every set you log today, comparing it directly against your current Estimated 1-Rep Max (e1RM).How to Read It: Each bar represents a single set. The taller the bar, the closer the weight on the bar is to your absolute physical limit.
The Color Zones: The bars automatically color-code themselves based on difficulty. Green means you are doing lighter technique or speed work (60-70%), while red means you are pushing into heavy, near-max territory (90%+).
PR Highlights: If a bar glows, it means the weight you just lifted exceeded your previous 100% ceiling. You just hit a new strength PR!Set Volume (Tonnage vs. PR)
While the first chart tracks how heavy you lift, this chart tracks how much total work you do. It measures your set "tonnage" (the weight on the bar multiplied by the number of reps you performed).How to Read It: The chart compares the total work of your current set against the single highest-volume set you have ever done for this exercise. A bar hitting 100% means you matched your all-time record.You don't have to lift your absolute heaviest weight to make progress. Moving a moderate weight for a massive amount of reps creates a huge stimulus for muscle growth. This chart visualizes that effort, glowing to alert you when you've successfully broken a volume record.
Sessions (Macro Analytics)
When you select the "Sessions" tab, the dashboard zooms out. Instead of looking at a single exercise, these charts analyze the total impact of your entire workout across all movements. This is your high-level view for managing fatigue and progressive overload.
Session Volume (Total Tonnage)
This chart tracks the absolute total weight lifted during your entire workout (every set of every exercise added together).How to Read It: Each bar represents a single day in the gym. The bar is divided into colored segments so you can see exactly which exercises contributed the most to your total volume.The Trend Lines: You will see two moving averages (a Short-Term and Long-Term line). If your Short-Term line crosses above your Long-Term line, it means your overall training volume is successfully increasing over time.This is the ultimate measure of your workload capacity. It ensures you are doing enough total work to force muscle growth without burning out.Effort Trend (The Heat Map)
Not all volume is created equal. This grid maps out exactly how hard those sets were by tracking your Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE).
How to Read It: Each column is a training day, and each row is an intensity zone (ranging from 60% up to 100% max effort). The more vibrant the red block, the more sets you performed in that specific difficulty zone.It helps you spot bad habits. If your heat map is constantly glowing at 100%, you are training to failure too often and risking injury. If it is only lighting up the 60% zone, you might not be pushing hard enough to trigger strength adaptations.Training Stress Wave
This is your biological dashboard. It uses a sports-science formula to measure exactly how much stress your central nervous system is currently under based on the weight, reps, and RPE you log.How to Read It: The wave spikes up when you train and slowly drifts downward as you rest.The Color Zones:
Blue/Green (Optimal): You are fully recovered. This is the perfect time to attempt a new PR or start a heavy training block.
Yellow (Overreaching): Fatigue is building up. This is fine for a few weeks of hard training, but you can't stay here forever.
Red (Danger): You are accumulating massive fatigue. Your risk of injury is high, and your strength will likely drop. You need to take a deload week immediately.
PRs (Historical Records)
When you select the "PRs" tab, the dashboard shifts from looking at a single day to looking at your entire lifting career. You select a specific exercise, and the charts map out your all-time progression.
Strength PRs (Estimated 1RM Over Time)
This chart visualizes your long-term strength trajectory by plotting your Estimated 1-Rep Max (e1RM) every time it increases.How to Read It: The blue line shows your absolute strength ceiling. As long as the line is moving up and to the right, you are getting stronger.
The Spacing Toggle (EVEN vs. TIME): By default, the chart uses "EVEN" spacing, which lines up your PRs neatly next to each other so you can easily see the jumps in weight. Tapping the toggle switches it to "TIME" spacing, which stretches the chart out across a true calendar. This reveals the actual chronological gaps between your records, making it easy to spot long plateaus or rapid growth phases.Volume PRs (Timeline)
This chart tracks the timeline of your highest-tonnage sets (weight × reps).
How to Read It: The green area chart maps out every single time you broke a volume record for this specific exercise.True 1RM strength can take months to build, but you can break a Volume PR much more frequently just by adding one extra rep to a lighter working set. This chart proves that you are consistently pushing more total weight, which is the primary driver of muscle hypertrophy.
Reading the History Logs
When you browse the "Archived Logs" (History) tab, every set you have ever performed is broken down into a compact, easy-to-read row. Here is exactly what each piece of information means, reading from left to right:
1. The Color Indicator (Left Edge)
The colored dot on the far left instantly tells you how difficult the set was relative to your max.
Red / Orange: Heavy, high-intensity work (80-100%+ of your max).
Yellow / Green: Moderate to light technique or volume work.
Gray: A "Legacy" set. This means the set was logged before the app's advanced intensity tracking was activated.2. Set Details (Middle)
This section contains the name of the exercise, your PR badges, and your specific effort metrics for that set.Absolute PR Badges: If you broke a record during this set, a brightly colored badge will appear right next to the exercise name. If you broke multiple records in a single set, it shrinks into a compact row of mini-icons to save space.Intensity %: This shows exactly what percentage of your Estimated 1-Rep Max you lifted.The Asterisk (): If you see an asterisk next to your Intensity (e.g., 85%), it means this is a "live estimate." Because your max might change during your current workout, the app leaves the asterisk there until the day is over and the final math is locked in.RPE: Your Rate of Perceived Exertion (how hard the set felt on a scale of 1-100).3. Weight & Reps (Right Edge)
The large numbers on the far right display the absolute physical work you accomplished.
The top number is the total weight on the bar (along with your chosen unit, LBS or KG).
The bottom number is the total reps completed.4. Editing & Deleting Sets
If you made a typo or need to remove a warm-up set you accidentally logged, just tap on any row in the list. This opens the full details screen for that specific set. From there, tap Edit in the top corner to modify the weight, reps, RPE, or permanently delete the set from your database.The PR Glow
You don't have to read the text closely to find your best sets. If you hit any kind of Personal Record, the entire border of that specific row will light up and glow with the color of the PR you achieved, making it incredibly easy to scroll through your history and spot your best days.
Tools & Utilities
The Tools tab is your utility belt. It contains built-in calculators to help you during your workout, alongside data management features to keep your app organized.
Calculators
1RM Calculator: Estimate your true 1-Rep Max without having to attempt a dangerous heavy single. Enter the weight and reps from a recent hard set, and the app calculates your max. It also generates a quick-reference list of training percentages (70% to 95%) to help you load the bar for your working sets.Plate Calculator: Stop doing gym math in your head. Enter your target weight and the weight of the barbell (or machine sled), and the app tells you exactly which plates to slide onto each side. You can easily toggle between LBS and KG.Set Planner: A tactical tool to help you program and map out your upcoming sets and rep schemes before you start lifting.
Data Management
Import / Export (CSV): You completely own your data. Use the Export tool to generate a master CSV file of your entire lifting history for backups or spreadsheet analysis. Use the Import tool to restore backups or safely merge workout data from other sources.Merge Exercises: If you accidentally logged the same movement under two different names (e.g., "Barbell Squat" and "Squat"), this tool lets you combine them. It moves all history into one master exercise so your charts and PRs stay perfectly accurate.Exercise Arsenal: This is your master library. Select any exercise to edit its primary and secondary muscle groups. This is also where you can toggle the "Hall of Fame" visibility—if you want to hide rehab movements or warm-ups from your leaderboards, turn them off here.
System Controls
Operator Profiles: If you are tracking workouts for two different people on the same device, you can instantly swap between a Primary and Secondary database profile.Wipe System: A permanent, irreversible reset button that deletes all logged workout sets from your database so you can start completely fresh.
Active Workout Dashboard
When you start a session, the app transforms into your live training HUD. Instead of a messy list of text boxes, the dashboard is built around a central, interactive core designed to be easy to use with sweaty hands and minimal focus.
1. The Reactor Core (Logging Sets)
The large circle in the center of the screen is your main action button.
Hold to Log: To log a set, press and hold the center core until the circle fills up. We use a long-press gesture to ensure you never accidentally trigger a set by bumping your screen.
Rest Mode: Once a set is logged, the core will turn blue and start "breathing," acting as your live recovery timer alongside the System Capacity meter. Hold the core again when you are ready to start your next set.2. Smart Data Entry
When you hold the core, a sheet slides up for you to input your Weight, Reps, and RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion).
The Built-In Calculator: The custom number pad isn't just for typing digits; it has a full calculator built-in. If you don't want to do plate math in your head, just tap the weight field and type an equation like 45 * 2 + 45, hit the equals button, and the app will do the math for you.
RPE Slider: Make sure to select how hard the set felt (from "Easy" to "MAX") before hitting Log Set.3. Top Navigation (Switching & Editing)
The two buttons at the very top of your screen handle your active data.
Top Left (Exercise Name): Tap the current exercise name to open the Module Arsenal. From here, you can switch to your next movement or create a brand-new custom exercise on the fly.
Top Right (Set Counter): Made a typo on the set you just logged? Tap the Set Counter in the top right corner to instantly reopen the last set and edit the weight, reps, RPE, or delete it entirely.4. Floating Tools
Around the center core, you have access to quick utilities:Plan: Opens the Set Planner so you can map out your upcoming sets.Retest: Allows you to safely trigger a 1-Rep Max retest for your current exercise.Quick Calculator (Bottom Right): A floating button to pull up the calculator at any time without having to open the logging sheet.5. Ending the Session
When you are completely finished with your exercise, press and hold the red bar at the very bottom of the screen. Just like logging a set, this requires a deliberate hold so you can't accidentally end a session mid-workout.
Personal Records (Celebrations)
Progress isn't just about putting another 5 lbs on the bar. Your body adapts in multiple ways—sometimes by building endurance, sometimes by lifting the same weight with less effort.
When you log a set that breaks a historical boundary, the app will instantly trigger a Celebration View. Here is exactly what those badges mean and the math behind what you just accomplished:
HEAVY PR (Purple Badge)
What it means: A new absolute strength floor.
How you earn it: You lifted the heaviest physical plate weight you have ever moved for this specific exercise. It doesn’t matter if it was for one rep or five—by putting more raw iron on the bar than ever before, you have officially established a new baseline floor for what your body can handle.VOLUME PR (Yellow Badge)
What it means: Most tonnage moved.
How you earn it: You generated the most total work in a single set. The app calculates this by multiplying your weight by your reps (e.g., 200 lbs × 10 reps = 2,000 lbs of volume). This proves your muscles are growing and handling larger workloads.STRENGTH PR (Red Badge)
What it means: Highest Estimated 1-Rep Max (e1RM).
How you earn it: Your overall baseline strength went up. The app looks at the weight and reps of your set (for sets under 10 reps) and calculates your theoretical maximum strength. If that calculation is higher than your previous all-time best, your absolute strength ceiling has officially increased.TORQUE PR (Orange Badge)
What it means: Sustained high-rep output.
How you earn it: This is your endurance and work-capacity PR. You earn this by taking a heavy weight (at least 70% of your maximum strength) and grinding it out for 10 or more reps, beating your previous high-rep benchmarks.ENHANCED TORQUE PR (Red/Orange Badge)
What it means: High-rep output raised absolute strength.
How you earn it: This is one of the hardest PRs to trigger. You pushed a high-rep set (10+ reps) with so much weight and effort that it mathematically raised your overall 1-Rep Max. You simultaneously built endurance and broke through your peak strength barrier.TECHNICAL PR (Cyan Badge)
What it means: Same power, less effort.
How you earn it: You lifted the same (or heavier) weight as a previous personal best, but your Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) was lower. This proves your central nervous system is adapting and your technique is becoming more efficient. You are doing the same work, but it feels easier.
Dashboard HUD
When you are on the Active Workout dashboard, the area surrounding your avatar acts as a heads-up display (HUD). It is designed to give you all the context you need for your next set without requiring you to tap through menus or check your history tab.
1. Target & Estimated Intensity (Left Side)
This is your active crosshair. Once you start warming up or utilizing the Set Planner, the HUD locks onto your target weight and reps (e.g., 225 LBS x 5). Beneath that, the Estimated Intensity readout tells you exactly what percentage of your 1-Rep Max that target represents, helping you gauge how hard the upcoming set will be before you even unrack the bar.2. Last Session Readout (Right Side)
You shouldn't have to memorize your last workout to know what numbers to beat. Whenever you select an exercise, the HUD automatically pulls the exact weight and reps you performed during your last session for that specific movement. It sits right on the dashboard so you always know what you need to lift to force progressive overload.3. Set Feedback & XP (Center)
Logging a set triggers an immediate visual readout of what you just accomplished. You will see colored capsules pop up over your avatar detailing the exact tonnage you added to your workout and the raw intensity of the set.
The XP System: You don't just earn arbitrary points for showing up. The Experience Points (XP) you earn for a set are mathematically tied to your actual physical effort. The app multiplies your total volume by your true intensity—meaning a heavy, grueling set of 5 will reward you with far more XP than an easy set of 15.
Bonuses: You are rewarded for pushing your limits. Hitting any kind of Personal Record (PR) automatically applies a 10% XP multiplier to that set.
