Progressive Overload

Progressive overload. Actually tracked.Not just logged — measured.

Progressive overload is the single most important variable in strength training. Iron Log is built around it — not as a feature tag, but as the core of how logging works. Every session shows you exactly what you did last time and makes it easy to beat it.

How Iron Log tracks progressive overload

When you start a session, every working set from your previous session pre-fills as a ghost set — dimmed, waiting for you to confirm or improve. This isn't a suggestion feature: it's the default logging flow.

PR detection that actually works

Iron Log tracks two PR types per exercise: heaviest single weight lifted (strength PR) and highest single-set volume in kg (volume PR). A snapshot of your all-time bests is taken at session start so every confirmation check is instant — no lag, no waiting.

PRs are tagged directly on the set row the moment you confirm. You see your progress in real time, not in a summary screen afterwards.

Volume trends per muscle group

The deep stats panel shows 7-day volume for every muscle group you've trained, with a week-over-week percentage delta. Volume is split across primary and secondary muscles — a Bench Press session counts 70% toward Chest and 30% toward Triceps, so your volume picture is accurate rather than exercise-count based.

Confidence indicators show whether a trend is based on enough data to be meaningful. Low confidence means the number is real but early — keep training and it will stabilise.
