IronLedger supports per-set effort tracking so different sets in the same exercise can have different targets and outcomes.

RPE and RIR

  • RPE describes how hard the set felt on a 1–10 scale.
  • RIR records the estimated repetitions you could still have completed with acceptable form.
Choose RPE or RIR for each exercise from its … menu, under Effort input. The choice applies to every set of that exercise, so you never enter both for the same set. Record the effort after the set rather than predicting how it will feel. For a prescribed target, compare the target with the value you actually experienced and add a note when technique, pain, equipment, or another constraint changed the result.

AMRAP sets

A rep target written with a plus sign, such as 5+, is an AMRAP set. Do as many good repetitions as you can and log the number. Beating the target shows a rep PR.

Warm-up sets

Tap W beside a weighted exercise to see a suggested warm-up ramp of 1 to 12 sets. Set the default number of warm-up sets in Profile, then Training. You can edit the ramp and send a set to the plate calculator. Warm-up sets are not saved and do not count toward totals or records.

Exercise labels

In the program builder, a row can be labelled Timed, Hold, Distance, Cardio, or EMOM. The label shows as a badge in the workout. These are labels only: there are no fields to log time, distance, or intervals, so each set is still logged as weight, reps, and effort.
RPE and RIR are estimates. Consistency in how you rate effort is more useful than false precision.
