Looking up a lift: history, records and progress
Finding a lift and reading its page: every session set by set, your rep maxes from 1 to 12 (the heaviest you actually lifted, next to the Epley estimate), your estimated max over time, and adding an old PR by hand.
Imported history counts too. Guide 12 shows how to import from Strong or Hevy.

0:00 · Finding a lift
This one covers the exercise pages, finding a lift and reading its history and records. Open train, then exercises, or use a plus next to ask Atlas, and tap "Find a lift", search by name or filter by muscle and equipment. If you see a banner saying a lift may have saved in pounds as opposed to kilograms, tap review to fix it.
0:19 · The lift page and history
A lifts page has your totals at the top and three tabs, history, records and progress. History lists every session with that lift, set by set, with an estimated one rep max beside each set.
0:29 · Records
Records show your rep maxes, from one rep up to 12. For each one, you see the heaviest you actually lifted, with the date, and the estimate the maths expect. Rep counts you've never done say not lifted. The note under the table explains that the estimate uses the Epley formula and isn't a lift you did. If your best lift is older than the app, you can set a PR manually by hand.
0:48 · Progress and from here
Progress plots your estimated one rep max over time, from each session's best set of 12 reps or fewer. Train this, starts a session with that lift, and ask Atlas opens a conversation about it.
1:00 · Good to know
Imported history counts too, and so if your past sessions are in strong or Hevy, import them first. Episode 12 shows how. The next video covers the body screen.
