Transcript
In this episode, we'll look back at how your training's going, from the big picture down to each lift.
Alright, let's get started.
On the Progress tab, you'll find "Your training over the last 12 weeks."
It shows your workouts, last week's volume, sets this week, and your current bests.
Next, I'll tap "View all" next to "Progressive overload" to open "Overload History."
This lists every target the app changed, and why.
I can search it by exercise or routine.
Each exercise has its own chart too, showing your top set over time.
The second line, marked "Est. 1RM", is your estimated one-rep max.
Finally, the "Records" toggle at the top lists your personal records.
So that's how you see the progress you're making.
Next up, your strength score.
The link's in the description.
