Version 4.8 - Tempo feedback
What's new 🚨
Tempo Metronome

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.
Expanded Website Documentation
The Metric user guide is now available in more languages with the addition of Portuguese and Chinese translations. We've integrated direct in-app links that take you straight to the content in your preferred language, creating a seamless experience for our global community of athletes.

For optimal results, we recommend using videos recorded at 60fps. Note: Slow-motion video is not recommended. Metric recording guidelines can be found at this link.
Add Imported Videos to Workout History
Enhance your existing workouts by adding imported video sets to your workout history. You can also start a new workout from an imported video, giving you the flexibility to record all your sets with your device's camera app and import them later.
Quick record
Sometimes you might not want to complete an entire workout, and just want to analyse 1-2 key sets. Thanks to the quick record option, you can do exactly this, directly from the home screen. Tap the record a set button, enter your exercise details and go straight to the Metric camera to start lifting.
