Menu - Analytics
-
Welcome to TrainLogs Analytics, your ultimate tool for in-depth workout analysis. Here's what you can explore:
-
Track every set you perform for each muscle group with unparalleled accuracy. Our exercise section includes detailed information on primary, secondary, and specific muscle groups, allowing you to monitor your training meticulously. Enhance your data precision by adjusting the secondary muscle groups' importance using the secondary coefficients slider. Visualize your daily, monthly, and yearly sets through comprehensive graphs to detect trends and optimize your training routine.
-
Whether you're into Powerlifting, Calisthenics, or any other sport, tracking sets for specific exercises is crucial. Select any exercise from your plan and monitor your sets daily, monthly, or yearly, just as you would in the Sets x Muscles section. This feature helps you stay on top of your progress and ensures you're hitting your optimal volume range consistently.
-
Keep a close eye on your Repetition Maxes for different exercises. Track how much weight you lifted for a specific number of reps over time, and directly compare it to your old PRs. If you uploaded a video- you will find it there. This feature enables you to see your progress, set new goals, and push your limits further.
With TrainLogs Analytics, you have the tools to understand your training better, make data-driven decisions, and achieve your fitness goals more efficiently.
-
In the Estimated Repetition Maxes tab, you can view not only your actual RMs but also your estimated RMs. This feature allows you to monitor your true progress over time, ensuring that your 1RM is consistently improving. Use this data to better estimate your Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and optimize your training intensity.
-
The Muscle Rep Ranges tab enables you to filter and analyze the rep ranges in which you train different muscle groups. Select up to three different rep ranges and adjust the secondary muscle group coefficient to get a detailed view of your training distribution. Track your rep ranges for each muscle group over weeks, months, and years to identify patterns and make informed adjustments to your program.
-
Similar to the Muscle Rep Ranges, the Exercises Rep Ranges tab lets you analyze the rep ranges for specific exercises. Identify trends and gather valuable data on how your exercise volume is distributed across different rep ranges, helping you fine-tune your training strategy.
-
Access your RPE data in the Effort Muscles tab to see the average intensity with which you train each muscle group. Determine if you're training too hard, risking overtraining, or if you're not pushing yourself enough and leaving gains on the table. This feature helps you balance intensity and recovery for optimal results.
-
In the Effort Exercises tab, review your RPE data for individual exercises. Analyze the average intensity of your workouts to ensure you're not overexerting yourself on certain exercises, which could impair recovery, or undertraining others, which could hinder progress. This data-driven approach helps you allocate your effort more effectively across your training regimen.
