## What is Iron Journal?

Iron Journal – For Those Who Lift With Intent

Iron Journal is built for athletes who train with purpose. Not a simple set logger. A complete training system designed around how serious lifters actually program, track, and improve.

• Train With Structure:
Phase-based workouts keep you locked in set by set. No scrolling, no searching — just the next lift, your goals, and your last session set's stats visible in real time right where you need them.

• Log Everything That Matters:
Weight, reps, RPE, RIR, rest, and set comments captured in seconds. Automatically tracked rest and every detail recorded so nothing is left to memory or guesswork.

• Know Exactly How You're Progressing:
Compare any two sessions side by side, set by set. Trend data shows weight, reps, exertion, and rest changes over time so you always know if you're moving forward.

• Personal Records That Work For You:
Strength and endurance PRs tracked automatically and linked to your exercises. Use percentage-based targets to program intelligently off your actual maxes.

• Plan Like You Mean It:
Build full training blocks with the workout calendar. Schedule deload weeks, max effort days, and recurring sessions across your entire cycle.

• Everything Else:
Percentage-based weight targets · Muscle group tagging · Mid-session exercise editing · Data export · Imperial and metric · Custom accent colors · One-swipe exercise management
