11Progression Rules

Automate Your Progress.

Set up smart progression rules that tell the app when and how to increase your weights. For example: if you complete 3 sets of 8 reps at the target weight, automatically suggest adding 2.5 kg next session. Assign rules to specific exercises and let GainLogger handle the math — you just focus on lifting. It's progressive overload on autopilot.
