Dashboard Overview
Your dashboard shows your most recent exercise results. Each exercise appears as a card with your 1RM, training zone spectrum, and a mini progress chart.
Each card has three navigation options:
- Click anywhere on the card — opens the exercise chart page for that exercise
- Update — go to the result form to log a new set
- History — view all past results
Filter cards by category. The dashboard supports three exercise types: Weighted, Calisthenics, and Weighted Calisthenics — with further filters for Upper Body, Lower Body, Push, Pull, Legs, and training phase (Strength, Hypertrophy, Endurance). Timeline and calendar widgets appear below the cards.
With an active subscription, Tracker includes core logging, timeline, and calendar. Pro adds AI Coach. Elite adds Voice Assistant.
Core Concepts
Your 1RM is your baseline. Training zones set your working range. Progressive overload drives growth. Strength benchmarks measure your progress. These four concepts underlie every feature.
1RM Explained
Your one-rep max (1RM) is the most weight you can lift for one clean rep with good form. It is the baseline for all training zone calculations.
How the app estimates your 1RM
The app uses a hybrid Brzycki-Epley formula. It switches between algorithms based on your rep range. You get an estimate from your regular training sets — no dangerous max-out needed.
| Reps | Accuracy | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 1-6 | 95-98% | Strength phase |
| 7-12 | 90-95% | Hypertrophy phase |
| 13-20 | 80-90% | Endurance phase |
For bodyweight exercises, the system uses research-backed bodyweight percentages. Pull-ups count as roughly 94% of your bodyweight.
Training Zones
Training zones are percentage ranges of your 1RM. Each zone targets a different goal.
| Zone | % of 1RM | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Endurance | 50-70% | Muscle endurance, deload weeks |
| Hypertrophy | 70-85% | Muscle size and strength |
| Strength | 85-95% | Maximal strength |
The app can adapt your zone automatically based on your rep range. Log a set in a different range and the zone shifts. You can also lock in a specific preset.
Progressive Overload
Muscles adapt to stress. To keep growing stronger, you must gradually increase the demand. That is progressive overload.
| Phase | Rep range | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | 1-6 reps | Increase weight |
| Hypertrophy | 7-12 reps | Balance weight and reps |
| Endurance | 12+ reps | Increase weight or reps |
Increase weight when you hit the top of your rep range for 2+ sessions in a row, or when the system detects you are ready for a new phase.
Strength Benchmarks
Strength benchmarks compare your 1RM to your bodyweight. This gives you a standardized ranking regardless of your size.
| Level | Description | Typical training |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Building movement patterns | 0-6 months |
| Novice | Linear progression phase | 6-12 months |
| Intermediate | Stronger than most gym-goers | 1-3 years |
| Advanced | Serious dedication | 3-5+ years |
| Elite | Competition-level strength | 5+ years |
Features: percentile tracking, age adjustments for under 18 and over 40, and clear milestones showing what you need for the next tier.
Logging Workouts
Log your strongest set per exercise each workout day. One number per exercise captures your peak performance. The app calculates your 1RM, training zone, and strength benchmarks from that single number.
Exercise Selection
Choose from 50+ exercises in the exercise library. Each exercise has a preset with biomechanical data pre-loaded.
Exercise types
- Weighted — barbell, dumbbell, and machine exercises with external load
- Calisthenics — bodyweight exercises with pre-loaded bodyweight percentages
- Weighted Calisthenics — bodyweight exercises with added weight (dip belt, vest, etc.)
How to select and log
- Browse the visual tile layout with images
- Filter by name, muscle group, equipment, or type
- Tap an exercise to load it into the result form
- Enter your weight and reps on the result form, then submit
You can also search for exercises directly from the result form page (/result-form/).
Performing Max Rep Sets
Your heaviest set of the session determines your numbers. Log it right after you finish.
Before your set
- Warm up with 5-10 minutes of light cardio
- Do 2-3 warm-up sets with lighter weight
- Never test max reps cold
During your set
- Your first heavy set is usually your strongest
- Count only clean, complete reps
- If you fail on the 9th rep, log 8
Log immediately after your set while it is fresh.

Pro — AI Coach
AI Coach is a strength and conditioning specialist powered by Google Gemini. Two interfaces: quick tip cards per coaching mode, and a full conversational chat overlay.
Chat overlay
The chat is where AI Coach becomes a training partner. Have ongoing conversations about any aspect of your training. The AI remembers your session history and analyzes your workout data before responding.
Ask things like:
- Why is my bench press stalling?
- What should I eat during a hypertrophy phase?
- I feel run down — should I deload?
- Design a push/pull/legs split for me
Voice input
Type or tap the mic button to speak. Speech is transcribed to text in real time. Convenient for mobile or when your hands are full. Transcribed text goes through the same AI and history as typed input.
Conversation history
Every chat session is saved. Rename sessions, revisit past conversations, revert to an earlier point, or delete old sessions. History persists across page loads.
Training context
Before each response, AI Coach analyzes your workout history, 1RM estimates, strength benchmarks, push/pull/legs balance, phase distribution, recovery score, and training frequency. Advice is personalized to your actual data.
Six coaching modes
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Performance Analysis | Deep dive into your trends — 1RM, volume, progress over time |
| Progression Strategy | Tells you when to increase weight or change reps |
| Plateau Breakthrough | Identifies patterns when progress stalls and suggests fixes |
| Program & Training | Analyzes your Push/Pull/Legs balance |
| Recovery Optimization | Recommends rest days and deload timing |
| Nutrition & Fueling | Phase-aware macronutrient guidance |
Token caps
AI Coach has a daily usage limit of 20,000 tokens per user for chat conversations. Trial users have a 10,000 token daily limit. Token usage resets each day. Your current usage is shown in the chat overlay. We monitor usage patterns and may adjust caps as we learn how the system is used.
