Strength score

Every muscle region we benchmark, strongest first, with a chart of your own trend over the last 12 weeks.

What this page does

Each row is one muscle region: a compact band bar and a one-line read for a region we can score, or the region's own honest sentence when we can't. Rows are ordered strongest first, so your best regions lead and anything we can't score yet sits below them. Tap any row to load its trend into the chart at the top of the page.

A region we can't score says why in its own words. If it names a lift — "We score Glutes from Barbell Hip Thrust or Hip Thrust Machine" — those are the lifts our bands are written against, and you haven't logged either. A differently-named version of the same lift still counts — logging a plain "Hip Thrust" scores against our "Barbell Hip Thrust" bands. Training the muscle another way still counts for everything else in the app (volume, recovery, progressive overload); it just isn't the lift this one score is measured on. The handful of regions we never benchmark at all — neck, traps, forearms, inner thighs, outer hips — are named once in a footnote at the bottom instead of taking a row each.

Step by step

  1. Tap a region to see its chart — the ratio to your bodyweight, week by week, over the last 12 weeks.
  2. A region with fewer than two scored weeks in that window shows a short note instead of a chart; that's expected for a region you've only recently started training.
  3. Reach this page from Progress → Trends → Strength by muscleView all.

Good to know

For any one lift, your bodyweight ratio can only hold flat or climb — it's a best-to-date figure, so a bulk, a deload, or a lighter week can never make a past week's point look worse than it was. The chart plots that ratio for whichever anchor lift currently ranks you highest on its own bands, so the line can step down on a week a different lift takes the region — a 1.2× bodyweight leg extension can rank above a 2× bodyweight leg press without being the bigger number. That's the yardstick changing, not you getting weaker: your band itself never goes backwards when it happens.
