Volume Goals in a Workout App

Volume goals are for accumulation: total reps or total time across a rolling period. They work well when you want gradual progress without turning training into a spreadsheet.

What volume goals are good for

• Building steady weekly work (pulling volume, accessories, conditioning minutes)
• Protecting balance (don't accidentally drop an important category)
• Staying honest when intensity varies week to week

Keep it practical

Volume goals should be simple: one target, one category, one rolling window. You can increase the target later. The goal should make the next training decision easier, not heavier.

Logs matter more than dashboards

A volume goal only works if the log is clean. Re:Do supports both a training history view and a gym-style log editor for set-by-set entry when you want precision.

FAQ

Should I track reps or time?
Track what matters for the category: reps for strength/accessories, time for conditioning or timed drills.

Can volume goals create pressure?
Yes, if you set them too high. Start small and let the goal support rhythm rather than compete with it.
