Grunty help center
Comparing sessions depends on the exercise variation, how weight is counted and how sets are defined. Record advanced methods when you use them; a coach should not guess them.
State what the weight represents. For a barbell, give the total load; for dumbbells, explicitly say 'per dumbbell' when the number refers to one dumbbell. Grunty tracks these conventions to avoid misleading comparisons.
Read the explanationSay 'per side' or 'per leg' and check the 'Per side' option in review. One set can represent the same work on both sides, and volume calculations can include both.
Read the explanationRecord separate sets for each side. In review, the L and R markers identify which side a set belongs to. Do not combine unequal results into a single 'Per side' set.
Read the explanationGrunty distinguishes warmups from working sets. Recent versions exclude warmups from the main set count in the summary and history, avoiding an inflated working-set total.
Read the explanationAdd an effort estimate to the set: 'RIR 2' means you estimate around two more reps were possible. Near failure, set RPE can be described on a 1–10 scale. These are personal estimates, not direct physiological measurements.
Read the explanationDescribe each load reduction and the reps completed at that load. In review, the 'Drop' set marker identifies these sets; check that the successive steps weren't treated as unrelated ordinary sets.
Read the explanationA rest-pause set includes brief pauses followed by extra reps. Describe the initial effort, subsequent bursts and pauses, then verify the 'RP' marker rather than 'Drop'.
Read the explanationProvide total reps, reps per cluster and the short rest between clusters. Grunty has cluster fields for reps per block and intra-set rest. Keep those short pauses distinct from rest between full sets.
Read the explanationTempo uses four phases, in order: eccentric, static hold, concentric and pause. During review, provided values appear under a Tempo group; you can add missing phases.
Read the explanationState the hold duration rather than inventing reps. A 40-second plank can be stored with a time field without forcing a repetition count.
Read the explanationYes. State the completed rep count and, if relevant, that you reached failure. A target is not a result; an attempted but unfinished rep should not be counted as completed.
Read the explanationState rest in seconds or minutes after the relevant sets. For a superset or circuit, separately indicate transitions between movements and recovery between rounds; those belong to the group.
