Add RPE Tracking Per Set

I’d love to see an option in Bevel to log RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) after each set, similar to how it works in Hevy, using a scale from 6 to 10.
This would give better insight into how each set felt and help guide progression. For example, even if I hit all my reps, I might not want to increase the weight until I’m consistently finishing sets with 2 reps in reserve. RPE tracking makes training more intentional and helps prevent burnout or premature weight increases.

Would also like the explicit tracking of RPE per set

That would be great. Another option would be to just set the number of reps in reserve (rir) for a set. But this would just work for weight lifting not for cardio.

Hi Ben, we actually calculate RPE for each set on the back end based on your biometrics & motion data, so that you don't have to. This is ultimately what we use to calculate the strain. Would you still be looking for a manual way to record this?

Amanda Hey. I fear you might have misunderstood why this is useful, so let me give you another example.
Let's say I do 3 Sets - 10 Reps 20 KG @ Iso-Latereal Chest Press on Monday. After each set, I let the app know many repetitions I could have done if I hadn't stopped. I have attached a photo to show how Hevy does it.
The next time I do the same exercise, I can see what my results was the last time. I can see that I managed to do all the 10 reps, but since I only want to increase the weigth if I have @ 7 RPE or lower on all sets, I choose not to. If I had 7 RPE or lower on all reps, I would have chosen to increase the weight.
Does this make sense?
