Records & Progress

Sparta keeps a record for every exercise you log and charts how your training for it moves over time. Both live under the Progress view of the History tab and are part of Sparta Pro.

Everything here is computed on your phone from the sets you’ve already logged. Nothing about records is sent to the server.

What counts as a set

A set only counts toward records and charts when:

• You marked it completed. Skipped sets are kept but never counted.
• Its session is finished.
• It has a real measurement: at least one rep for a reps-based set or a non-zero time for a duration set.

Sets are grouped by the exercise they point at, not by name, so renaming an exercise keeps its history intact.

The records

Each exercise tracks the records that make sense for how you log it.

Record	For	Meaning
Heaviest weight	reps-based	The most weight moved for at least one rep, with the reps you got
Best set	reps-based, loaded	The single set with the highest weight times reps
Best session	any	The highest total volume for the exercise inside one session
Most reps	reps-based	The most reps in a single set
Longest set	duration-based	The longest single set

A few details worth knowing:

• Ties go to the earliest occurrence, so a record is dated to when you first hit it.
• Bodyweight work counts reps as kilograms for volume, so pull-ups don’t collapse to zero and adding a weight belt later doesn’t jump the chart off the floor.
• Every record keeps the list of times you beat it, with the improvement over the previous mark. Your first session sets the baseline and isn’t counted as an improvement.
• Tapping a record opens the session it came from.

Progression charts

Pick an exercise and a period. The chart shows one bar per session until that would get crowded, then widens to weeks, months, quarters and years, so a long history is compressed instead of cut.

Swipe between the charts: best session first, then the best single set in each dimension the exercise is measured in. A loaded exercise gets both weight and reps, because adding reps at the same weight is progress a weight chart alone would show as flat.

Every chart plots a peak, never a total, so a bar for a whole week shows the best session in it, not a number you never lifted. A dashed line marks your all-time record in that metric so you can see the gap.

Records in the session and in the feed

During a live session, a trophy button appears the moment a set beats a record. When you finish, the records you broke are published with the entry and show inside its card in the group feed, at whatever level your record sharing allows.

The feed shows what was true when you logged the session. If you later delete the session that set the previous mark, the feed entry keeps saying what it said.
