Logging sets, reps and RPE

The basics

Each exercise in a workout holds a list of sets. For every set you can record:

  • Weight — in kg or lb (choose your unit in Settings).

  • Reps — how many you completed.

  • RPE (Rating of Perceived Exertion) — how hard the set felt, from 1 to 10. RPE helps you (or your coach) judge whether the weight was right, independent of the number on the bar.

Tips for accurate tracking

  • Log sets as you finish them rather than reconstructing the session afterwards — your rest timer doubles as logging time.

  • Use the previous lifts panel to decide today's weights: it shows your last performances of the same exercise, and scrolling loads older history.

  • Be honest with RPE. A set of 5 at RPE 9 tells a very different story from the same set at RPE 6, and your progress charts get smarter when the data is real.

One-rep max tracking

Synrgetic estimates and tracks your one-rep max (1RM) per exercise from your logged sets, so you can watch strength trends without actually maxing out. See Exercise progress & charts.
