Reading the dashboard

The dashboard is the first thing you see after logging in. Nothing on it is anything you have to fill in — every number is counted from the workouts you have already saved.

• Streak — how many weeks in a row you have trained at least once. The badge appears as soon as this week has a workout in it, so an unfinished week never breaks the count on a Monday.
• Volume — kilos moved this month, counting every set: the weight times the reps you did with it.
• Records — how many times this year you have beaten your own best on a move.

Training days counts the days you trained, not the workouts you saved — two moves on the same day is one day. It is shown for this year, the last 12 months and all-time, each with how many times a week that works out to.

Last workout is simply the days since the previous one, and This month counts the workouts saved since the first of the month.

The small graph under Training days is an "8-week average" — each point is the average number of training days a week over the eight weeks ending there. One quiet week does not move it much, which is the idea: it shows the direction you are going, not last week's mood.

The last point is drawn separately, detached from the line. That is the week you are in right now, and it is not over yet — folding it into the line would drag the whole trend down every Monday and let it climb back by Sunday. It moves up as you log this week's workouts, and joins the line once the week ends.

The buttons above the graph pick how far back it reaches. It opens on six months, which is long enough to show where you are heading without flattening a recent change into the past year.

One square per day for the last year, oldest on the left. A square is filled in on every day you trained, and the darker it is the more moves you logged that day. An empty square is a rest day.

This is the view that shows a change in habit rather than a change in numbers: a stretch that used to be mostly empty and is now mostly filled is the whole story at a glance. Hover a square to see its date and how many moves it holds.

Beside the squares are the same two numbers the trend graph draws: how often you train now, and how often you trained a year ago. If you have picked up the pace, the difference between them is shown as a multiple. It needs a year ago to compare against, so it stays hidden until you have one.

• Lifting totals — every kilo, rep and set you have ever logged.
• Most improved — the moves that have come along fastest over the last 12 months.
• Moves used — how many different moves you have done, in total and this year.
• Most trained — the ones you come back to most.

The graphs at the bottom load a moment after the rest of the page, which is why you see them fade in. They cover how effective your workouts have been, volume over time, which months and weekdays you actually train, how your categories are divided, your heaviest lifts, how the workouts felt, and your measurements.
