Easy Next Set Planning

While logging a set, you can plan an increase or decrease in weight by percentage for your next set. TD automatically calculates the weight for the next set, so you don't have to do the math during your workout.

Why it is important to keep records

Successful progress in training (increasing strength, muscle growth or fat loss) is related to gradually increasing the load, such as weight, number of repetitions and overall training intensity. That is why it is important to keep clear records of your workouts.

What you can track

In addition to exercises, you can record:

training weights
number of reps
notes for individual sets

Performance analysis

In the overview of each exercise, you can view statistics and performance history. You can compare workouts, track progress and analyze performance in sets. You also have an overview of your best-performing sets.
