Logging a single exercise

1. Open the Exercises tab and choose a lift. NextLift comes with Bench Press, Barbell Back Squat, Overhead Press, Bent Over Barbell Row, and Deadlift — and you can add your own. 2. The first time you log an exercise, set a starting weight and a per-session increase (or choose Maintain to keep the weight the same — NextLift will never bump it up on its own). 3. Every time after, NextLift shows your last weight and lets you: a. Keep it the same b. Add your preferred increase c. Deload by your chosen percentage d. Choose another weight entirely 4. Record your sets — reps and weight per set. Warm-up sets can be added automatically and are highlighted so they don't count toward your progress. 5. Save. Your progression chart updates instantly, and you'll see how to load the bar for your working weight.
