What's new 🚨

Global Language Expansion
‍Metric now speaks your language! We've added support for German, Hindi, Polish, and Japanese, making velocity-based training accessible to athletes worldwide. Already using Metric in another language? You'll find numerous bug fixes, improvements, and tweaks to existing translations for a more polished experience. Found a translation issue? We want to hear about it - get in touch: community@metric.coach

Improvements ✨

• Enhanced Chart Interactions. We've refined the touch responsiveness of our charts, making them smoother to interact with and easier to activate exactly when you want them.
• Expanded Exercise Library. Browse new exercises now available in the exercise library for your next workout. More variety means more opportunities to track your progress across different training modalities.

Bug fixes 🐛

• Performance Chart Data Loading. Fixed bugs affecting data loading and real-time syncing on the performance chart page, ensuring your training data appears instantly and accurately.
• Date Formatting Consistency. Standardized date formatting and capitalization throughout the app for a more professional, consistent experience.

What's new 🚨

Peak Velocity as Default Metric
‍You can now make Peak Velocity your default metric for records and for trend tracking. Customize this setting for the entire Metric app or on an exercise-specific basis to get the most relevant data for your training style. (Pro tip: Peak values are perfect for loaded jumps making it an even better readiness test for your athletes!)

Enhanced Trends Analysis
‍We've expanded the Trends chart functionality to give you more control over your data visualization:

• Toggle between mean or peak velocity measurements on a per-exercise basis
• View your progress across multiple timescales, no longer limited to just 6 weeks
• Get deeper insights into your performance patterns with more flexible data options

Intelligent Rep Filtering
‍Metric already does a lot of work to filter out unrack and rerack ghost reps from your set, but sometimes they still sneak in, especially the catches on jumps or Olympic lifts. Now Metric performs a second sweep and auto-hides any suspected false detections from the set. If it gets it wrong, just scroll down to the set review and unhide the rep to add it back into your set data.

Improvements ✨

• Redesigned Home Page Layout. We've reorganized the home screen with cleaner button organization for more intuitive navigation and faster access to your most-used features.
• Real-time Data Updates. Progress charts and training history views now respond better to showing training data edits in real-time, giving you instant feedback when you make changes.

Bug fixes 🐛

• UI Improvements. Various UI and interaction improvements throughout the app for a smoother user experience.

What's new 🚨

A New Name
‍The Metric VBT app is now simply Metric. For as long as we've been on the App Store, we've been talking about how bar speed tracking is about so much more than velocity-based training. Find us in the App Store under "Metric - Barbell Tracker" and join us in this next chapter of intelligent strength training.

RPE chart
‍Alongside load-velocity and power profiling, you can now access a complete RPE chart for your workouts. This chart takes your top set's RPE, weight, and reps to calculate ideal weights across all RPE values and rep ranges—perfectly calibrated to help you nail your working sets.

Record badges and PR table
‍Track your progress with new performance badges comparing your current sets against all-time bests for load, velocity, power, and reps. Find your complete personal records log on the Performance page, showing detailed progress for every exercise.

Enhanced video features
‍Access velocity recording settings directly from the video screen, enjoy full-screen recording with larger controls, and browse your training history in the new grid view library. Pro users can now manually select which videos to save to their library.

Velocity tracking toggle
‍Sometimes you just want to log your workout without tracking velocity on every set. Toggle velocity tracking off in training preferences for a streamlined workout tracking experience—perfect for those quick sessions when you just need to log your sets. You can also long press on a single set to have it manually completed when velocity tracking is enabled

Italian Language Support

Improvements ✨

Enhanced 1RM Estimation
‍We've refined our e1RM calculator to show a result in more contexts. The system now shows estimates when you've recorded three or more sets, requiring either a 60% spread in weights or a 0.25m/s spread in best-rep mean velocities. This update means more workouts will display 1RM values, including sessions with smaller weight ranges.
