      Understanding Training / Workout Screen Information

      This section esplains all the features you see when starting a workout.

      This is the main screen of a workout. Here, you can see all the performed sets and reps, as well as input the barbell weight or set up the required settings.

      Let's analyze and explain step-by-step what all this information means:

      • Back: This option allows you to navigate backward through the menu without pausing your workout. You can return to the exercise by pressing "continue." Note that during this status, certain settings cannot be edited as you have an unfinished workout in progress.

      • Select Exercise: Use this feature to switch exercises if you are performing more than one exercise with the encoder. We recommend turning off the encoder before selecting the exercise, then turning it back on to avoid counting false reps.



      • "Last 3 Trainings" Button: This button displays the maximum Mean Velocity (MV) achieved with the same load in the last three workouts. If no records are shown, it indicates that there are no previous workouts with that same load.



      • "V" Button: Use this button to check the connection status of the encoder.
      • "Current Load" Button: Tap here to adjust the weight you intend to lift.
      • Rest Timer: During a set, this will, by default, count the time that has passed since the last set. If the Rest Timer option is enabled in the settings, a countdown will be displayed on the screen, accompanied by a voice announcing the athlete’s name followed by a countdown of 5 beeps.
             
      • 1RM: If there is an RM equation available for the exercise, this section will display the estimated 1RM based on the lift performed. If nothing appears, it indicates either the absence of an RM equation for that exercise or the activation of the RM filter in the settings, which prevents false 1RM estimates caused by excessively high speeds.
               
        • Clicking on the 1RM: This action reveals the "weight to lift" slider. Adjust the slider to determine the weight to use for today's lift based on the estimated 1RM. For example, if you need to lift with a 60% RM, move the slider accordingly to select the appropriate weight.
      • Sets and Reps: The information regarding the sets and reps already performed will be displayed here.
        • In the SET header, you can see the set number, the weight used, the Average Mean Velocity of the set, and the set's Fatigue level.
                   
          • If you press the SET header, a pop-up will appear allowing you to modify the weight used in the set, add a comment for the set, or delete the set.
        • Inside each set, you can see all the reps. The information available for each rep includes the rep number, mean velocity (m/s), peak velocity (m/s), mean power (W), range of motion (inches or cm), and estimated 1RM (only if calculated).

        • Editing a Rep (Weight, Metric).
           
          • By sliding to the left each REP you can delete or edit it.

                   

      • START/RESUME Button: When the button shows as "Continue" in red color, the entire screen will also have a red border. This indicates that even if you pull on the tether of the encoder, it won't register any reps. This feature is useful when you want to relocate the unit to a different spot to prevent ghost reps from being recorded.

         
      • END:  It will take you to the RESUME screen. On that screen, you can view your entire workout and choose to save or discard it.



      • RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION (RPE): Answer a wellness question (RPE) at the end of the workout.

      • CAMERA: It allows you to record the lift while still showing the velocity and saving the reps.
