Training Insights: Volume, Muscle Split, Trends | Strongbro
Quick answer
Insights shows one month at a time: total volume with the change versus last month, sessions and per-session averages, a “where it changed” list per muscle group, a six-month volume chart, and a “ready to progress” list of lifts you've held steady for consecutive sessions.
Most analytics screens are a dashboard with fifteen numbers and no opinion. Insights has three opinions per month.
How much, and versus what
The hero number is your monthly volume, with an arrow against last month. Under it: sessions, per-session volume, and your top lift — each with its own delta. Numbers you can act on, not admire.
Where it changed
A ranked list of muscle groups by how much their volume moved — "Legs, 37,390 kg, was 58,688" — so a quietly vanishing body part gets loud before it becomes a weak point. The Volume tab turns the same data into a donut by muscle group and a stacked year view.
The consistency grid
Twelve weeks of training as a GitHub-style grid on Home, each square darkened by the volume you moved that day. Heavy days read heavy, missed weeks read pale, and your streak sits beside it in plain grey — motivation by evidence, not confetti.
What's ready to progress
Lifts you've held for consecutive sessions surface here with a suggested next weight. Pair it with personal records and the app quietly does what a coach's notebook used to.
Frequently asked questions
What does “ready to progress” mean?
When you've completed the same weight on a lift for multiple consecutive sessions, Strongbro flags it with a suggested next weight. It's progressive overload without the spreadsheet.
What counts as volume?
Weight times reps, summed per set, in your unit. Bodyweight movements count reps; cardio tracks distance and time separately, so the volume number stays honest.
Can I see more than one month?
Yes — the month switcher walks back through your history, and the six-month bar chart keeps the trend in view. The Volume tab adds a full-year stacked view by muscle group.
