Strength metrics

Tracking strength progress: load, reps, volume, relative strength, training logs, and rough benchmarks for men and women.

Why track strength

Strength trends are one of the most objective signs your program is working—often clearer than scale weight alone.

What to track

  • working weight
  • reps
  • sets
  • volume (weight × reps × sets)
  • relative strength (load / body weight)

BALANS in practice

Compare yourself to your past self—not only to benchmarks.
