Personal records: where they show up and how to manage them

Gript works out your personal records from the sets you log — nothing to tag or enter by hand. New records light up the moment you finish a workout, and every record you have ever set lives on one screen with its history.

Where records show up#

The Personal Records screen#

Open Profile → Personal Records. Every exercise with at least one record is listed with its current records — heaviest weight, best estimated 1RM, best set and session volume, most reps, and for timed and cardio exercises the longest duration and distance — along with the date each one was set. Search by exercise name, or use the sort button to switch between Most recent and A to Z. Tap the exercise name to open its detail view.

Record history#

Tap any record to see its history: a chart of every time the record moved, and the list of record-setting sets underneath, newest first. The ± button switches the list between the value of each record and the gain over the previous one. For assisted exercises, less assistance counts as progress, so the chart trends up as you need less help.

Each record has a chart and a list of the sets that set it.

A set that should not count#

A miscounted rep or a spotter-assisted lift can create a record you do not want. You can leave it out without editing the workout:

The set stays in your workout and your charts. It just stops counting toward records.

Reset an exercise's records from a date#

Coming back from an injury, or switching to a stricter form? On the Personal Records screen, tap ••• next to an exercise and choose Reset records from a date. Records for that exercise then count only sets from that date on; older sets stay in your history and charts. The footer under the exercise shows the date, and Clear reset date brings the old records back.

Common questions

Which records does Gript track?

Per exercise: heaviest weight, best estimated 1RM, best set volume, best session volume, most reps in a set, most reps in a session, and for timed and cardio exercises the longest duration, longest session duration, and longest distance. All of them come from your completed working sets; warm-up and cool-down sets are left out.

Can I remove a record without deleting the set?

Yes. In the record’s history choose Don’t count this set, or while editing the workout turn off Counts toward records on that set. The set stays in your workout and charts and simply stops counting as a record.

How do I start fresh after an injury?

On the Personal Records screen tap the ••• button next to the exercise and choose Reset records from a date. Only sets from that date on count toward its records; older sets stay in your history and charts, and Clear reset date restores them.

Is the Personal Records screen free?

The record lists on the Personal Records screen and in each exercise’s Records tab are free. Opening a record to see its history chart is part of Gript PRO.
