Use auto progression

Build reps and weight from completed sets, with optional effort ratings.

This feature requires Train or Train + Fuel. Compare memberships.

Choose auto progression

In Settings → Workout preferences, use Auto progression to suggest next-session targets for supported exercises. It uses your completed working sets, target rep range and available equipment. RPE is optional.

Review each suggestion before your next session. Not every exercise uses automatic weight progression.

Show the optional RPE column

In a workout, open the display controls and enable Show RPE. You can also review workout display preferences in Settings.

Read the explanation

Tap the RPE heading to see what the rating means. The explanation includes the optional progression setting so you do not have to leave the workout to find it.

Record each set honestly

Enter how demanding the completed set felt. RPE is optional. Do not reuse an old rating simply because the target is unchanged.

Review the next targets

When the app changes a target, review the change and its explanation before you train. A suggested weight or rep count is not a requirement to continue through discomfort or poor technique.

If you prefer to choose all changes yourself, keep progression off. You can still record RPE as useful history.
