Set goals you choose yourself

Exact set goalsFor each muscle you choose an exact number of sets a week; by default no muscle has a goal. Green is exactly on goal, yellow too few and orange more than your goal. Behind the question mark are guidelines from research.
Only the main muscle countsA set counts for the main muscle of the exercise. Helping muscles no longer count anywhere, not for muscle recovery either.
Wizard in four stepsDays, how to start, your set goals and your plan, for 1 to 7 workouts a week. Goal and experience are gone. “Start empty” sets up an empty day for each training day.
Add exercises per muscleIn “Your plan”, “Add exercises per muscle” opens Muscle coverage: for each muscle you see how many sets are still needed, with a button to add an exercise straight away.
You choose reps and restA new exercise no longer gets reps or rest from the app: you choose them per exercise. If you chose no rest, the rest timer starts at 2:00. The exercise window also shows your estimated 1RM.
14 sample plansFrom Full body 2× to Push / pull / legs 6×, now without supersets and without circuits.
Muscle recovery shows the dayOn Home you see as a day when a muscle is estimated to be recovered, for example “tomorrow”, no longer by the hour.

Your plan on one screen

Your planOne screen for the last step of the wizard, editing a plan and editing a routine: days as chips, calm exercise rows with − sets +, and a window per exercise for reps, rest, swap, superset or remove.
Add exercises from the body mapTap a muscle and choose from the exercises for that muscle, or search by name. Tick several at once; they're added in the order you ticked them.
Estimated durationFor the sample plans, per day in your plan and next to your routines you see roughly how long a workout takes, worked out from your sets and your rest.
Mark a week, live on the calendarMark a deload or pause week and you see your choice straight away as a band on the calendar. It moves along as you change the number of weeks.

Muscle recovery, Trends and your own language

Muscle recoveryThe card on Home is now called Muscle recovery. For each muscle you see an estimated percentage and when it should be recovered: still recovering, almost recovered or recovered. A fixed rule based on your sets, not a measurement.
A new window per muscleTap a muscle on the Muscles tab: you see your sets against your goal, which exercises counted directly or through an assisting muscle, per workout, and how many sets your plan schedules.
Plans always through the wizardYou make a new plan with the wizard: your days, then a sample plan, a split or “Completely on your own, start empty”. You edit an existing plan in the same wizard.
Exercises in your own languageThe 273 exercises are now in 25 languages. Searching by the English name works too, and in Settings you can switch back to English.
Long-term trendsPush/pull balance, upper/lower, growth per muscle group and volume per month, over the last 6 months. Every question mark explains how the card works it out. Premium.
Monthly reportYour month in numbers next to the month before, in the app and as a PDF to share. Premium.
Mark deload weeksA week you mark as a deload doesn't count towards Your strength, the weekly best in your strength charts or Trends. You mark it in the menu of a training day in your calendar.
Feedback programmeThe first 100 testers who send real feedback through the app before launch get a year of Premium. Join through “Send feedback” in the app.

Notes, set types and new colours

Supersets everywhereAdd a superset in any routine, in step 3 of the wizard and during any workout. “Make superset with…” and “Dissolve superset” are in an exercise's menu.
NotesWrite a note on an exercise, a set or a whole workout. A note on an exercise stays with it in every workout.
Drop sets and sets to failureMark a set as a warm-up, a drop set or to failure. A drop set has steps, and every step counts towards your volume.
Warm-up calculator“Add warm-up” under an exercise opens a sample warm-up for your working weight, which you adjust as you like.
Estimated 1RM per weekThe strength trend shows your estimated 1RM per week, taken from sets of up to 12 reps. The running week is an open bar and stays out of the trend. A switch moves between 1RM and Volume.
Last trainedHome has a card called Last trained: your muscles in colours from blue (just trained) to lime (longer ago). Grey means not tracked.
New colours on the body mapPurple for little, orange when you are close to your target, green once you reach it. Grey means not tracked.
Adjust targets and planned sets“Adjust targets” opens an edit mode where you set every muscle's target with + and −. You also see the planned sets per muscle in your plan, on the map and as a list. Free for everyone.
Count helping muscles as halfA new switch in Settings. On by default; off counts every set only for the primary muscle.
Weigh-ins: date and undoPick the date of a weigh-in, and undo a deletion straight away.
Compare photosPut two progress photos next to each other. The comparison only leaves the app if you choose to share it. Premium.
Exercise names and muscle linksExercise names now start with the equipment, and the muscles each exercise counts for were revised.
Fixed days or in orderChoose whether every routine has its own weekday, or you always do the next routine.
Send feedback from the app“Send feedback” under “About” sends us a message, with your app version and device model but no training data.
CodesGot a code from us? Enter it under “Have a code?” on the Premium page in the app.

Plans in one place and a new colour

Import a fileOne button for your own export and for a CSV file from another app. You see beforehand what comes in, and you skip workouts that are already there.
Black Gold and a gold app iconA premium theme in black and gold, with gold icons. In “Settings” → “App icon” you can also put a gold icon on your home screen. Dark and Light stay free.
Home at a glanceHome shows your body weight and your Last trained card, with the date in the accent colour.
Strength trend in kilos per weekThe chart shows how many kilos you lifted with an exercise each week.
Set targets with plus and minusUnder “Sets per muscle” each muscle has its own row. You set your target with + and −, one set per tap.
Your strengthA new card that tells you whether you are getting stronger: slipping, steady or improving. It replaces the load card and works as soon as you do an exercise for the second time.
Every card from the startOn the Progress tab every card is there right away. Until there is enough data, it shows an example and says when it will fill up.
Supersets as a plan of their ownChoose “Supersets” in the wizard and build supersets of two, three or four exercises per day, with exercises for opposing muscles listed first. In your workout a superset sits on one card, round after round.
Rest per setEvery set has its own rest. Tap the set button on the left of a set to adjust it; the app remembers it per exercise and per set number.
One routine screen, with the muscle mapA routine's name, colour and exercises on one screen, with a muscle map that shows which muscles it trains and updates as you add or remove exercises.
Swipe a set awaySwipe a set to the left to delete it.
The plan as the titleOn the Workout tab your plan sits at the top, with the Switch plan and Edit buttons.
Manage and edit plans in one placeCreating, renaming, copying and editing now all happen from the same screen.
Units chosen separatelyYou choose kilograms or pounds and cm or inches independently, on first launch and in the settings.
Violet as the new accent colourWith better readability in all three themes and clearer differences between colours for people who see colours less well.
25 languagesMore languages were added, with a page of their own for choosing your language.
Faster entryYou enter weight and reps in a dedicated panel, with weights already filled in. After the weight, the app immediately asks for your reps.
Licences in the app“Settings” → “About” now lists the licences of every component used.
