Muscle balance and muscle split explained

Two charts in Gript answer the same underlying question — "am I training everything, or just the fun stuff?" — from different angles.

Muscle Balance (radar chart)

A radar chart on the Performance tab that plots your training across muscle groups over the selected period. A balanced program draws a round shape; a lopsided one shows spikes (that giant chest lobe) and dents (those forgotten legs).

A lopsided radar means lopsided training — this one is skipping legs.

Muscle Split (donut chart)

A donut chart showing the proportion of your training per muscle group. Switch the metric between Sets, Reps, and Volume — useful because 3 sets of squats and 3 sets of curls are very different amounts of work in volume terms.

How sets are attributed

Exercises that hit multiple muscle groups have their sets split across those groups, so compound lifts are not counted as one-muscle work.

Reading the charts

Muscle Balance and Muscle Split are Gript PRO charts.
