How to use rep ranges in routines

Most programs don't prescribe exact reps — they prescribe ranges, like "3 sets of 8–12." In Gript, any exercise in a routine can use a rep range instead of a single rep target.

Turn on rep ranges for an exercise#

  1. Open the routine in the editor (create one or edit an existing one).
  2. Tap the Reps column header on the exercise.
  3. Choose Use Rep Range.

The column becomes Range, and each set takes a minimum and maximum — 8–12 instead of 10. Switch back anytime with Use Single Reps.

What happens during the workout#

When you start the routine, each set shows its target range. You log the reps you actually did — the range is the goal, your log is the truth. Double progression falls out naturally: work up through the range, and when you hit the top on all sets, add weight next time.
