Case: more in reserve at the same strength?

On the same chest press, strength stays similar while RPE goes from 9 to 8. Choose “Strength” and “RPE” in landscape Two values and compare changes over the same period. With a consistent subjective scale, this helps you review whether you have more in reserve.

The RPE in comparisons generally corresponds to that day's strongest set, not the average of all sets. Do not fill unrecorded days with 0, and read the original set too.

Case: what changes in the numbers after a technique change?

You change the lowering phase from 2 to 3 seconds. Put the numeric field and strength in a scatter plot to see same-day pairs. Choices such as grip can separate series through condition coloring in supported exercise graphs.

Long periods for trends, short periods for individual points

Read trends grouped by month over years, by week over intermediate periods, and by day over short periods. The general rule is daily up to 10 weeks and weekly up to 60 weeks. Frequency uses a different calculation. Select an interesting peak or dip and read equipment, sets, and notes in the relevant day's History.

Match equipment before comparing

Check machine selection so numbers from different gyms or models are not mixed. Separating progress in your usual gym from a switch to another model helps explain days when weight alone is insufficient.

Use correlation to form a question

Scatter plots use pairs from training days with both values. The correlation coefficient appears with at least 8 pairs and variation on both axes. A relationship does not prove its cause. Use it to ask, “Will this happen again under the same conditions?” and check in History.

Basic analysis with Free

Basic trends, RPE, and two-value comparisons are available with Free. Analysis using custom fields as axes or conditions requires Pro. Independent left/right tracking uses dedicated side, difference, and rep views and does not support the same two-value comparison.
