Then get feedback on your clips, your workouts and your progress over time. LOG THE WORKOUTS YOU ALREADY DO Already have a coach or a program? Log it here. Re-add the lifts you train most from your recent exercises, log weight, reps and RPE for every set, and let the rest timer run between sets. Not sure what to lift? Enter your 1RM and target reps and RepWise suggests a weight for each RPE.

As you train, the coach revises the plan from what you actually logged. CHECK YOUR FORM ON EVERY CLIP Film a set and attach it to the exercise. RepWise reviews the clip for effort, range of motion and tempo, tells you what went well, and gives you one cue to fix next. REVIEW EVERY WORKOUT After each session you get a form score, focused cues for next time, and a progression call for each lift. SEE YOUR PROGRESS, EXPLAINED Follow estimated 1RM, volume and best sets by rep range for every lift. Coach's read sums up your last sessions in plain language and tells you what to focus on next.
