Automated Progressive Overload for Workouts
planned (soon)
v
vincentb
When creating a workout plan, I'd like a feature for automated progression in different ways:
On X Successes:
- Increase repetitions by X within a range of X to X reps. Once this rep range is completed, increase the weight by X kg.
Example: Every time I successfully complete my set of 10 kg x 4 sets x 8 curls, increase by 1 rep within an 8-10 rep range.
So next time I'd do 10 kg x 4 sets x 9 curls, then 10 kg x 4 sets x 10).
After completing this cycle, I would then move to 12 kg x 4 sets x 8 reps, etc.
On X Failures:
- Apply the same system (decrease repetitions or decrease weight).

Add Motra like features

Hi Bevel team,
I really enjoy the app, especially the clean design and logging experience. However, after comparing it with newer training apps like Motra, I see a clear opportunity for Bevel to evolve from a tracking tool into a true performance platform.
Here are the key features I’d love to see:
- Adaptive training intelligence
- Automatically adjust workouts based on previous performance (reps, RPE, missed targets)
- Suggest next-session weights instead of relying on manual progression
- Built-in progressive overload system
- Smart weight and volume increases over time
- Option to choose progression style (linear, wave, autoregulated)
- AI-generated training plans
- Plans tailored to goals (strength, hypertrophy, recomposition)
- Ability to evolve dynamically instead of static templates
- Deeper performance analytics
- Trend analysis (strength curves, fatigue, plateaus)
- Benchmarking vs past performance, not just raw data
- Smarter exercise handling
- Faster logging via prediction or auto-fill
- Recognition of common patterns (e.g. repeated sessions)
Right now Bevel is excellent for tracking, but adding these features would make it a true training partner that actively drives progress.
If you can bring even part of this into the product, it would significantly increase long-term user value.
Thanks for considering this.

Progressive overload feature, update weights and reps

In order to get muscle, one need to progress in increasing weight or reps week by week. A feature to update the values of sets after a workout would be amazing. Also a dashboard that shows the percentage progress over the weeks and month.

Automatic weight saving in workout

Whenever you do a workout in bevel, it should save the weight that you did. This way you can easily progressive overload and you don’t have to keep changing the weight so much.

Auto Progressive Weights

Can we use data from weight and reps templates to give the option to auto-set the new workouts reps and weights to manage progressive overload. Maybe a sliding scale from minimal to aggressive for different lifters (1% - 10% increments etc)

Copy workout sets and weights from your progress history

Would be very useful to Copy workout sets and weights from your progress history, and even better if it could suggest you when to increase weight based on your progress history. For example if your goal is to make 8-12 reps and in your previous workout you were able to make 12 reps in 2 sets, to suggest you to increase weight.

Leveling up Strength Builder with Smart Progression & Splits

Hey Bevel Team, I have been using the app for ~6 months now and absolutely love it and rely on it daily—it’s a true 10/10 for recovery, sleep, and holistic health tracking. However, the workout logging feels like it’s being left behind compared to the rest of the ecosystem and needs an upgrade to be a definitive all-in-one solution.
I would love to see Bevel implement the ability to build a custom workout split, set specific rep ranges and exercises, and seamlessly rotate through those training days without having to manually juggle templates.
The absolute game-changer we need is a "Smart Progression" feature session-to-session, similar to what MacroFactor just introduced in their new Workouts app. Their algorithm acts like a digital PT, automatically adjusting the recommended weight and reps for the next session based on past performance, RIR (Reps in Reserve) targets, and fatigue. If Bevel could integrate this level of intelligent auto-progression to handle progressive overload automatically, the app would be 100x better and completely untouchable.

When building the strength workouts, it’s world new nice if at some point it could prompt when the best time is to start progressive overloads
