Bench’s innovative goal-setting and tracking feature allows you to track the metrics that matter to you. Bench offers three types of goals: general, exercise-specific, and body-part-specific.
General Goals #
General goals are the most basic – they simply track how many workouts you perform. You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly goal and Bench will automatically update your progress every time you log a workout. For example, you can set a goal to perform 3 weightlifting sessions a day. You can click the goal at any time to view how often you hit your goal.
Body-Part Goals #
Body part goals allow you to focus on a specific muscle group. Currently, Bench supports the following muscle groups: chest, back, biceps, triceps, legs, glutes, shoulders, and abs. After selecting a muscle group, you can choose to create a volume goal (measured in either sets or weight moved) or an exercise variety goal. You can elect whether to make it a daily, weekly, or monthly goal and you can even choose whether or not to count warmup sets as progress toward your goal. When performing a workout, progress will automatically tracked to the applicable goal(s).
Exercise Goals #
Like body-part goals, exercise allow you to focus on a specific exercise. For an exercise to be available for goals, you must have logged it at least once. If you’ve never logged an exercise, it will not show up in the dropdown when creating an exercise goal. After selecting an exercise, you can choose to create a volume goal (measured in either sets or weight moved) or a session goal. You can elect whether to make it a daily, weekly, or monthly goal and you can even choose whether or not to count warmup sets as progress toward your goal. When performing a workout, progress will automatically tracked to the applicable goal(s).
