What to log for a set
In My training, each set record has only three core fields:
- Load: enter it according to the exercise's load basis (see the exercise page). Bodyweight exercises can be left blank; timed exercises take seconds.
- Reps: the reps you actually completed, not the number written in the program. If you did 7, log 7; do not round up to 8.
- Set type: working set, warm-up set, or failed set (did not complete the prescribed reps). Warm-up sets do not count toward training volume.
Optional fields are perceived effort (how many more reps you felt you had left after the set) and a note. Notes are for things you will want next time, such as "used a different machine" or "lower back felt tight".
When to log
The best time is right after each set; the rest between sets is exactly when you log. Most people start a session on the training page. It lists the day's exercises and target sets from the program, and each set is pre-filled with last time's numbers, so you only change what differs and confirm.
If the gym has poor signal, the page stores records on your phone first and syncs when the connection returns; the interface shows the offline state and the time of the last sync.
Filling in missed records
If you forgot to log after training, or never opened the page that day, use Backfill. Backfill asks you to choose the date and the matching training day in your program, then takes the same fields. Backfilled records are marked "backfilled" to distinguish them from live records, but they count toward your statistics in the same way.
The principle for backfilling is honesty: if you do not remember the exact reps, log only which exercises you did and the rough load, and write "reps uncertain" in the note. Do not invent a nice number to make the curve look better.
Correcting mistakes
Any set can be edited, and the system keeps a revision history, so there is no need to worry about breaking something. Common cases:
- Wrong basis (logged a pair total as a single dumbbell): edit the load of that set.
- Too many sets logged: delete the extra sets; volume is recalculated.
- Wrong set type: change a warm-up set that was marked as a working set back to warm-up, and the weekly report updates accordingly.
How training volume is calculated
Training volume = load × reps for each set, summed over the day's working sets. You can check the arithmetic by hand in the volume calculator, and see the weekly totals in your weekly report. All statistics are computed by the system from your records; nothing is "adjusted" for you automatically.
Records are for your future self. Fewer fields kept up for longer beats filling in a lot every time and then giving up.
Scope: general training knowledge for adult beginners and people returning to training; competition prep, specialised rehabilitation and individual nutrition prescriptions are out of scope.
