The reference column on every exercise — the one labeled Previous by default — is switchable. Tap its header to choose what you want to see next to each set while you lift.
The three modes
- Previous — what you did for the same set last time, including logged effort. The default, and the right mode for straightforward progressive overload.
- Best — your best performance for the set instead of the latest. Useful after a deload or a break, when "last time" understates what you can do.
- Est. 1RM — the estimated one-rep max each past set works out to. Available on weight-and-reps exercises; handy when you train the same lift at different rep counts week to week.
How to switch
- In your workout, tap the Previous column header on any exercise.
- Pick Previous, Best, or Est. 1RM.
The choice is remembered per exercise, so your squat can show Est. 1RM while everything else shows Previous.
Bonus: a live focus metric
The exercise menu (three-dot button) also has Set Focus Metric: a running total for the exercise — Volume, Total Reps, or Total Time — displayed under the exercise name with the change versus last time. Good for days when the goal is "beat last week's volume," not a specific set.
