Use the target as a guide
Use the target as a guide
Target weights are calculated to progress you safely. If a target feels too heavy or light, modify it rather than skipping it.
Track partial workouts

Common Scenarios
Bodyweight Exercises
For exercises like pull-ups:- Target weight shows as “BW” (bodyweight)
- You can still log additional weight if using a weight belt
- Or simply enter “BW” in the weight field
Max Effort Sets
When your target shows “Max” reps:- Perform as many reps as possible (AMRAP)
- Log the actual number of reps you completed
- This data helps track strength progress over time
Adjusting Mid-Workout
If you need to change weight between sets:- Each set has its own weight input field
- Enter the new weight used for that specific set
- The target weight is just a guide—actual performance matters most
