In the Progression tab you control how users see their training progress visualized — from personal records over charts and GitHub-style heatmaps to muscle balance.
Area Description PR tracking Detect and celebrate personal records PR types Which record types are detected? Charts Progress charts over time Chart settings Default time range for charts Heatmap Training activity as GitHub-style calendar Muscle balance Distribution of trained muscle groups
Setting Description Enable PR tracking App automatically detects best performances after every set
When enabled, the app compares each entered set with your previous best performances for that exercise. When a new record is reached, the app marks it as a PR.
Setting Description Enable PR celebration Shows an animation and notification at every new PR
When enabled, a short animation (e.g. confetti) and a notification of the PR type appear after a new record.
Decide which kinds of personal records the app should track. You can enable any number of types simultaneously.
Setting Description Track max weight Highest single weight in an exercise
Example: You bench press 80 kg. Next time 82.5 kg → new max weight PR.
Setting Description Track max reps Highest rep count in an exercise
Example: You do 12 pull-ups. Next time 14 → new max reps PR.
Setting Description Track max volume Highest total volume (sets x reps x weight)
Example: 4 x 8 x 60 kg = 1,920 kg total volume. Next time 4 x 10 x 60 kg = 2,400 kg → new max volume PR.
Setting Description Track best time Fastest execution time for time-based exercises
Example: You run 5 km in 28 minutes. Next time in 27 minutes → new best time PR.
Setting Description Enable charts Progress charts for exercises, weight, volume and training frequency
When enabled, users see line charts in the Progression area for every exercise with a timeline.
Setting Description Range Default chart period Default in days 7 - 365 days
Recommended values:
30 days for short-term progression90 days for medium-term trends365 days for the long-term overview
Users can change the period at any time via the filters.
Setting Description Enable heatmap GitHub-style calendar with training activity
When enabled, users see a heatmap that shows colored cells for each day indicating activity:
Color intensity Meaning Grey / Light No training Light green Short or light workout Medium green Standard workout Dark green Long or intense workout
Setting Description Range Heatmap range Number of weeks shown in the heatmap 4 - 52 weeks
Recommended values:
12 weeks (default) for a quarterly view26 weeks for half a year52 weeks for a full year
Setting Description Enable muscle balance Visualizes how often muscle groups have been trained
When enabled, users see a chart showing the distribution of their training across all muscle groups — useful for spotting imbalances (e.g. “Chest trained 8x, back only 2x”).
Setting Description Use radar chart On: spider web chart. Off: pie chart
Type Advantage Radar chart Better comparability between muscle groups, visible gaps Pie chart Classic distribution, easier to read
Setting Description Range Period How many days back are evaluated 7 - 30 days
Recommended values:
7 days for the current training week14 days for a training microcycle30 days for the monthly overview
Setting Description Enable exercise history Each exercise has its own history page with all historical sets
When enabled, users can tap any exercise and view the complete history — all sets with date, weight and reps.

It usually makes sense to keep all four PR types enabled because different exercises need different record types. Cardio exercises benefit from “Best time”, strength exercises from “Max weight”.
The heatmap is one of the strongest motivation tools — many users see their gaps and close them automatically. Keep it enabled by default.
Muscle balance is especially valuable for personal trainers to point out imbalances to clients.
Charts only become meaningful when there is enough data. For beginners, a 7-day default is too short; 30 days is a good compromise.
