Update Strength Template based on previous weights + reps
planned (soon)
J
Jonathan
I generally enjoy using the Strength Trainer (and it also has finally pushed me to actually define a routine I want to follow). There is however one stupid wrinkly that I fall into all the time: After finishing the workout, I quickly scroll the the muscle groups displayed on the Watch and then tap the X in the top left corner (same as in Apple's workout app). This however discards any updates to the workout. What I would now wish was just being able to go into the iPhone app, go into the workout details and apply the values from there. Am I making clear what I mean here?

Workout weight and reps automatically adjust.
J
John Daniel Rose
When using the workout feature it would be nice if the weight that is set to log would automatically adjust to the last weight logged for that set. For example if I had the weight set to log at 70 lbs but did 75 and logged that for the first set it would automatically adjust the second and third set to be 75 lbs. Further more, what if for both the weight and reps the app took your progress and adjusted/ suggested the amount of weights and reps. This could also include having your first set be heavier, logging that amount of reps done, comparing that number to what rep range you should be in, and deciding/suggesting if the second and third set should be higher weight or lower weight to maximize gains.

Prefill New Templates with Last Used Weights & Reps
Eric Z
When adding an exercise to a new template, if I’ve done it before, please prefill the fields with my most recently logged weight and reps instead of defaulting to 20 lbs / 12 reps (with an optional toggle to disable).
This would speed template creation and better reflect real training history. Until these are implemented, I’m sticking with Strong since it handles templates and progression more efficiently. I’d love to fully migrate to Bevel once this workflow is smoother.

Auto-Update Templates from Workout Progress
E
Erik Závodník
Hello Bevel Team,
I’d like to suggest a new feature that would significantly improve the workflow for users who train with recurring templates (e.g. Upper/Lower, Push/Pull/Legs).
Currently, when I complete a workout and increase the weight or reps for an exercise, I have to manually go back and update my saved template. This becomes repetitive and time-consuming over time.
Proposed feature:Add a button or option during or after a workout that allows the user to automatically save the latest performed sets (weight/reps) directly into the selected template.
Example:I train using an Upper/Lower split.If during my Upper workout I increase the weight on Bench Press by +2 kg, after finishing the set and entering weight + reps, I would like to tap a button such as:
“Save this as new template value”
This would:
- Keep templates always up to date
- Remove manual editing steps
- Support progressive overload naturally
- Greatly improve usability for users training with structured plans
This could be implemented as:
- A toggle in workout settings
- A per-exercise button
- Or a post-workout prompt: “Update template with today’s best sets?”
Thank you for building such a great app — this feature would make Bevel even more powerful for serious training.
Best regards,
N

Personally I use the template as a boiler plate for the day (ie. Arm day, leg day, etc.), then I just adjust as I go with what I actually do that day. Set entry is pretty quick once you have the exercise in but what’s the most frustrating is that I can’t track my workout details with my Apple Fitness session that I started. So I end up starting session on my watch with all the watch vital details and another workout in Bevel with all the actual workout journal details and then I end up with 2 sessions each with data the other needs. Is there a way to automatically merge these or at the very least manually merge them? Is there a better way for me to accomplish what I need?

On this, it would be very nice if you could link to strength standards for each exercise (by weight/gender/age), give each user a ranking for each of their lifts, allow a user to set goals to get stronger and reach a higher standard, and the app automatically suggest the progressive overload strategy each time you start a workout (tells you do this many reps at this weight)

Remember Historical Weight and Rep Data
M
Michael Huck
When in the gym I have a planned workout but sometimes I add additional exercises that are outside the original plan. But when I add them they don’t tell me what the weight was the last time I used it. At the end of the workout I don’t want to save the template because I don’t want to change what was on the original plan. I just want the weight and rep data to save so that when I add the exercise half way through a workout it remembers what I used last.
Additionally when I add an additional exercise during a workout it should list a “recently used” section for quicker use.
Thanks! 😄

An As many reps as possible (AMRAP) choice would be great. Also a rep range option and you choose to set the reps between two amounts (eg. 8-10)

Standard exercise that update across workout templates
b
bryan garcia
When I have a workout template for one day and let's say it has biceps in there at a certain weight in reps I would also like the ability in a different day for it to use that same workout details. This way if I update it in the standard exercise area anytime I choose that option it will sync to all my workout templates.
The reason I'm asking for this is because I have a couple of workout templates depending upon the time I have available. For example if I know I have a full hour to workout then I do a full workout template but if I know that I may only have 30 minutes or 15 minutes then to make it easier I choose a workout that hits the primary focus and not all the others so at least I get something done.
So when I make an adjustment in weights, Rep, duration in the primary workout then I have to remember to go and change it in all the other templates.
And yes I would still like the ability to have the same workout that is not tagged to the standard exercise.

Automatic "Last Done" Stats Sync for Exercises Across Templates
Paul Woolacott
Currently, when an exercise is performed within one workout template (e.g., "Full Body"), the "last done" stats (weight, reps) for that exercise aren't automatically updated in other templates that include the same exercise (e.g., "Push" or "Pull"). This requires manual updates to keep all templates consistent with the most recent performance. I'd like to request a feature where "last done" stats for individual exercises are globally synced across all workout templates. If an exercise is logged in any template, its most recent performance data should automatically reflect in all other templates where that exercise appears. This would streamline workout tracking and ensure all templates are up-to-date without manual intervention.
