From a convenient toolbar menu, they can Edit, Delete, or Repeat a past workout. 2.

Strength Analytics (e1RM): Strong-er includes a scientific component to help users understand their strength gains.

About

Evolution Force

Evolution Force isn't a simple workout logger — it's an adaptive strength coach that makes real decisions about your progression, based on your history and how you show up each day. HOW IT WORKS - Personalized onboarding: tell us your goal (strength, hypertrophy, both, body recomposition, or cutting), experience level, available days, and equipment, and we build your plan. - Universal programs: 16 classic methods (like Upper/Lower, Push/Pull/Legs or Linear Barbell Strength) with week-by-week tracking, and 200+ exercises with form guides. - Automatic progression: after every session, the progression engine decides whether to increase weight, hold, or flag for review — never randomly, always based on your actual sets, reps, and RIR (reps in reserve). - Daily check-in: before training, tell us your energy and available time, and the session's volume and intensity adjust automatically. - Smart exercise substitution: mark an exercise as avoided or missing equipment, and it gets swapped out automatically — it never suggests what you can't or won't do again. - Automatic personal records: detected straight from your real workout history, no manual logging needed. - Progress dashboard: real consecutive-week training streaks and weekly volume, actually calculated. - Adaptive nutrition: calories and macros calculated from your profile and what you actually train, with your target adjusted every 2 weeks based on your weigh-ins. BUILT TO ACTUALLY GET USED - Pick your workout back up where you left off: if the app closes mid-session, what you already logged is saved. - Works offline: log your workout with no signal, it syncs automatically once you're back online. - Spanish, English and Portuguese, with your choice of metric or imperial units. Evolution Force calculates training suggestions and nutrition estimates from the data you provide. This does not replace advice from a doctor, dietitian, or certified trainer — talk to a healthcare professional before making any significant changes, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
