Log sets, reps, RPE, and notes

The minimum that already works

• In the inline flow, enter weight and reps directly in the row: units and e1RM/RPE badges stay visible, while the circular check completes the set.
• In most cases, weight and reps are enough to feed History and Stats well.
• Add RPE mainly on your key lifts, where effort context helps you read progression.
• When you confirm a working set with RPE enabled, FitLog Pro saves the set and starts recovery before asking for perceived effort. Time spent choosing RPE is not lost from your rest.
• RPE remains separate: you can add, change, or remove it later without marking the set incomplete.
• Tap the information icon next to RPE for a short explanation of its meaning, use, value choice, and limit. You can reopen it whenever you need it.
• In the set panel, `Actual result` always means the weight and reps you actually performed. The target stays a separate reference: it is never colored or confused with the logged result.
• If the workout you just completed creates a new personal record, the summary shows a card with the exercise. Its information icon explains what the record compares and why it does not measure technique or safety on its own.
• In the summary, the information icon next to Total volume explains that the number summarizes your logged work. Use it to read a trend, not as a guarantee that more volume always means better results.
• Use notes only when they change future interpretation: technique, discomfort, setup, range of motion, or session context.

How FitLog Pro suggests the next load

• If you have trained that exercise before, the app can reuse the last logged weight.
• If several recent sessions stayed at the same weight, it can suggest a small progressive overload increase.
• If useful history is not available, your fitness profile and strength standards can estimate a starting weight from goal, level, bodyweight, and conservative/balanced/aggressive style.
• During the workout, the actual RPE from the completed set can adjust upcoming sets: too hard lowers the load, too easy raises it, close to target stays stable.

When to switch counting mode

Target RPE, weight, and rest

• Target RPE is the prescription; actual RPE is feedback from the set you just did.
• Reference priority: set target RPE, then exercise RPE range, then the general RPE range.

Operational steps

1. 1

   Fill the fields you will actually use for the next decision.

2. 2

   Stay consistent in how you log the same exercise from one session to the next.

3. 3

   If you use RPE, use it consistently at least on the lifts that matter most.

4. 4

   Add extra detail only if you know you will read it again in History or Stats.

Correct a set after doing it

• Tap a set, or the green check on a completed set, to review actual weight, reps, and RPE in the same panel. `Set status` clearly shows whether it is completed or still open.
• If the target is a range, such as 8-12, the initial value starts from the high end of the range and can still be corrected.
• For an already completed set, you can edit reps or RPE without undoing it: the original set timing is preserved.
• Tap the full `Set status` row, or its check, to switch between `Completed` and `To complete`. You can change the choice until you save.
• Use `Save & continue` to save weight, reps, RPE, and the visible status. The X closes without applying changes.
• Gestures remain shortcuts, but the main path is to read the row, edit the visible fields, and use the circular check.

What to expect

• You reach a verifiable result at the end of the flow.
• Saved data remains consistent with the guide objective.
• You can continue to related guides without extra setup.
