Analytics that read your logs back to you
Pro analytics answer the questions you would otherwise squint at charts for: which lifts are climbing and which have stalled, whether you lift better on days you report feeling recovered, how your calories track against the scale, and how your bloodwork moves over time. Each answer comes from a rule you can check, with a plain-language summary on top.
Correlations: which numbers move together
MuscleBuddy pairs your logged data across time and reports how closely two series move together. On the training side, it pairs each check-in's recovery score with the session that follows it: do you move more total weight, and hit a heavier top set, on days you feel recovered? On the nutrition side, it compares weekly calories, protein and target adherence with your week-to-week weight change.
Each finding has a direction (positive, negative or none), a strength (negligible to strong), and the number of data points behind it, so you know how much weight to give it. A correlation tells you two things moved together; it cannot tell you one caused the other. Below eight pairs, the view says there is not enough data yet. The same data gives the same result every time.
The Lift Report, per lift, with a summary in plain English
Each lift you train gets its own report: an estimated-1RM trend line (Epley, from the sets you logged), the rate it's moving in kg or lb per week, its last PR date, and a status of progressing, flat or stalled. A stalled lift shows how long it has been stuck and the rule that flagged it.
Above the per-lift breakdown sits a short summary in plain English: where you're gaining, what's stuck, what to look at next. It adds no new data; each number it mentions is computed and shown below it. If the model is unavailable, the summary is hidden and the numbers stay.
Volume balance, heatmap, and multi-metric trends
A weekly volume heatmap shades a front and back body diagram by how much work each muscle group is getting, so an under-trained area stands out. Each muscle carries a status against your target. It is the same per-muscle view your ranks use and your coach reads during a program review.
The Trends view puts bodyweight, calories, recovery score and other metrics on one timeline, so you can watch a cut, a bulk or a fatigue spike as it happens. Pick the metrics you want to see.
Bloodwork, recovery, and nutrition outcomes over time
Log a lab panel and each marker trends against its reference range, so you can watch a value move toward or away from that range across months.
Recovery and nutrition get their own correlation views: recovery score against the training that follows it, and calories and protein against your bodyweight change. They show whether your numbers are moving the way you want, not why.
Frequently asked
- Is analytics free, or part of Pro?
Pro covers the Lift Report, volume balance and multi-metric trends, plus mood, stress and motivation read against training and recovery. Free: the weekly, monthly and yearly recap, alongside the ranks, leaderboards and day-to-day charts.
- Is the AI making the numbers up?
No. Each trend, rate, correlation and status is computed by a fixed rule from the sets, meals, weigh-ins, check-ins and labs you logged, so the same inputs give the same output. AI writes the plain-language summary on top, from numbers that are already computed.
- How much do I need to log before analytics is useful?
A few working sets start the Lift Report. Correlation views need at least eight pairs of data points and tell you when they do not have them yet, which usually means a few weeks of consistent logging. A bloodwork trend needs two or more panels.
- What does a correlation strength mean?
Each finding reports a direction (positive, negative or none), a magnitude (negligible, weak, moderate or strong), and how many data points it rests on. A strong correlation over many points is worth a closer look; a weak one over a handful is labelled weak. Neither proves cause and effect.
- Can my coach see all this?
Yes. Your coach sees the same per-lift, per-muscle and outcome views during a program review, so decisions about where volume goes rest on your logged training.
