Everything Badger does

This is the full map. You will not need most of it to start, and nothing here is required to log a workout. Skim for anything that sounds useful, then follow the link to learn how it works. If you are brand new, the starting guides are a gentler place to begin.

Logging a workout

Set logging - weight, reps, duration, and distance, with the right fields for each exercise type.
Duration in minutes - type 15:00 instead of counting out 900 seconds. Plain numbers are still seconds.
Warm-up and working sets - mark any set as a warm-up so it stays out of your records.
Rest timer - starts on its own after a set, with custom durations, sound, and vibration.
Set timer - a wall-clock countdown for planks, carries, and anything else measured in seconds, spoken aloud in a male or female voice while it runs, including through a locked iPhone screen.
Workout notification - Android: your current exercise, next target, and rest countdown on the lock screen while you train.
Supersets - group exercises you alternate between, with automatic advancing.
RPE and RIR - record how hard each set felt, if you want that detail. Tap either label in the app for a plain-language explainer.
Compact set recorder - collapse the set details down to weight, reps, and done.
Per-set comments - jot a form cue or note an odd rep on a single set.
Plan vs last - your target and last session's numbers, right above the recorder, and on each set you have not done yet.
AMRAP and to failure - what "8+" means in a plan, and what the To failure chip records afterward.
Missed vs skipped - a short set still counts; a skipped one doesn't.
Repeat last set - copy your previous set in one tap.
Skip a set - mark a planned set as skipped without deleting it.
Workout notes - a comment for the whole session.
Resume a workout - reopen today's finished session and add more.
Hands-free flow - keep the screen on, auto-select the next set, and auto-advance between exercises.

Exercises

Over 360 built-in exercises - across eight categories, including machine, cable, and unilateral variants.
A-Z exercise index - the whole library in one alphabetical list, with a letter strip to jump down it.
Search and filter - by name, category chip, muscle group, or equipment type, in any combination.
The exercise page - your history for a movement, its record key straight through to the graph, muscles worked, and your notes.
Custom exercises - add anything that is not in the library.
Exercise types - weight and reps, bodyweight, timed, distance, and combinations.
Favorites and avoided - flag the lifts you love and the ones you never want to see.
Linked exercises - tie variants together so they share PR history.
Manage categories - create, rename, recolor, and reorder the categories that group the library.
Per-exercise settings - default increment, rest, bar weight, tempo, and notes.

Routines and programs

Build routines - multi-day programs with set and rep targets per exercise.
Built-in programs - StrongLifts 5x5, Starting Strength, GZCLP, 5/3/1 BBB, PPL, PPL + Upper/Lower, Upper/Lower, and Full Body.
Predefined sets - your targets are filled in the moment you start a session.
Schedule or rotation - pin days to weekdays, or rotate through them in order for any number of days.
Starting weights - pull from your last session or from the routine plan.
Default accessories per slot - program the band or chain you always use into a routine slot so it comes with the exercise.
Exercise alternatives - pre-set swaps for when a machine is taken.
Plan B swaps - suggests substitutes on the spot when nothing is pre-set, matched by muscle and what your gym has.
Rep ranges - set a target of "8-10" instead of a single number.
AMRAP targets - an open-topped set written "8+": at least 8, then as many as you can. "1+" is a set to failure.
Double progression - work up through the range, then add weight.
Progressive overload - suggests a weight bump after a run of solid sessions.
Auto-progress weights - write the heavier loads you hit back into the plan.
Deload weeks - detect a due-for-lighter week and reduce weights and sets; start or end one manually, or skip a single workout.
Routine folders - group related routines together.
Routine from past workouts - turn sessions you already logged into a reusable routine.
Routine notes - program-level context on the routine itself; travels with a shared routine.

Tracking and progress

Personal records - PRs are detected and tracked for every exercise type: heaviest, most reps, farthest, or best time.
Progress graphs - estimated 1RM, max weight, and volume over time.
Strength standards - optional untrained-to-elite reference lines on the big barbell lifts, scaled to your bodyweight.
Estimated 1RM - calculated from your logged weight and reps.
Volume landmarks - sets per muscle group against research-based MEV and MRV zones.
Training heatmap - a GitHub-style view of how often you train.
Muscle balance warnings - flags a muscle group that is getting too little work.
Plateau detection - spots an exercise that has stopped progressing.
Per-exercise history - every session for a single movement in one place.
Editable history - fix any past set or piece of equipment after the fact.
Training notes - a private page for your goals, injuries, and training context.
Body tracking - body weight and tape measurements, with a 7-day average trend. Quiet by default: only body weight is on, and the rest are opt-in.
Apple Health and Health Connect - opt in to save finished workouts as sessions, and to bring your weigh-ins in.
Heart rate on your sets - opt in and your watch's end-of-set heart rate turns up on each set, with exertion trends per session and per exercise.

Equipment and gyms

Multiple gyms - track where each workout happened.
Machines and attachments - log the exact equipment you used.
Grip types - overhand, underhand, neutral, wide, close, hammer.
Per-machine notes - seat heights and setup cues that stick to the machine.
Equipment photos - snap a machine or attachment so you recognize it on the floor.
Machine-scoped PRs - keep records separate per machine.
Machines learned as you go - pick any machine at your gym mid-workout and Badger links it to the exercise for you.
Weight config - logging unit and step size per machine, including non-uniform stacks.
Weight per side - record whether a number means one side or the total, and see it on every set you logged.
Per-gym plate inventory - the plates a given gym actually has.
Dumbbell and kettlebell racks - list what is on the rack and the +/− stepper walks it, gaps and all, instead of ticking a fixed increment.
Kettlebell colors - the competition color code comes preset, so the weight you type is checked against the bell you picked up.
Named bars - the trap bar, the EZ curl, the worn 45. Each with its own weight, feeding your plate math and warm-ups.
Records per bar - a trap-bar deadlift keeps its own history, because it is a different lift.
Bands, chains, and straps - name them, color them, and attach several at once to a set.
Accessories stay out of records - a banded set never claims a PR and never blocks one.
Progress chart filters - scope any exercise graph by machine, by named bar, or by bare vs accessorized work.
Share a whole gym - hand a friend the place as it stands, racks and plates included. Your photos and private notes stay yours.

Calculators and tools

History

List and calendar views - browse past workouts either way.
