## What is Progression?

Progression helps you train smarter with adaptive strength training, workout tracking, and intelligent progression suggestions.

Most people guess their weights, reps, and volume progression from workout to workout. Progression is built to remove that guesswork and help you make consistent progress over time.

Track your workouts, monitor performance, and get recommendations based on your actual training data.

FEATURES

• Adaptive workout suggestions
Get intelligent recommendations for weights, reps, and progression based on your recent performance.

• Workout tracking
Log sets, reps, RIR, rest-pause sets, and track your training history over time.

• Strength insights
Monitor estimated 1RM trends, progression signals, and performance changes across exercises.

• Volume analysis
Analyze weekly training volume, muscle group distribution, and recovery landmarks including MEV, MAV, and MRV ranges.

• AI-powered coaching
Receive adaptive workout feedback and progression insights based on your sessions.

• Program builder
Create your own training programs or use ready-made templates.

• Exercise library
Access a growing exercise database with technique guidance and muscle targeting.

Built for lifters who want more structure, better progression, and smarter training decisions.
