Zyra Workouts is in development and not yet on the App Store; screens may change before release.
The Levels tab answers "how much have I actually been training each muscle?" with one number per muscle group: the average number of working sets per week over the last 4, 8 or 12 weeks. It is a count of logged sets, nothing cleverer, and this guide explains the count precisely — including why it does not match the dashboard card and what the tap-through adds.
What it does
Three parts, top to bottom:
| Part | Shows |
|---|---|
| Window control | 4 weeks · 8 weeks · 12 weeks (default 4) |
| Body map, front and back | Each of 11 muscle regions shaded by its average, against a fixed 10 sets/week scale |
| Muscle list | Rows sorted highest first: "Chest · 9.5 sets / week" with a mini bar per week; tap for the drill-down |
With no sessions the map is blank and the card reads "Log workouts to see your training levels."
Step by step
- Open Levels. The eyebrow confirms the window: "AVG WEEKLY SETS · LAST 4 WEEKS".
- Switch to 8 or 12 weeks to smooth out a light week or a holiday.
- Read the rows. The mini bars are the raw weekly counts, oldest to newest; the number is their average.
- Tap a row. The drill-down shows the muscle's weekly bars, a Sets / Volume toggle, a range selector (1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, All; default 3M), and Top exercises with the sets each contributed in that range. Tap an exercise to open its own history page.
What the numbers mean
The Levels rule, in order:
- Weeks start on Monday. The window is the current week plus the previous
weeks − 1. - A set counts if it is completed and not a warm-up.
- It counts toward the exercise's primary muscle only.
- The average is
total sets in window / weeks, rounded to 0.1.
Rule 1 has a consequence: on a Monday morning the current week is nearly empty but still divides the total, so a 4-week average dips at the start of each week and recovers as you train. Rule 3 means a back squat counts for quads only here, even though the catalog lists glutes and hamstrings as secondaries.
The app has two other muscle counts, and they differ deliberately:
| Surface | Window | Secondary muscles | Compared against |
|---|---|---|---|
| Levels tab | avg over 4 / 8 / 12 weeks | not counted | 10 sets/week display scale (not a target) |
| Dashboard Muscle Groups card | this week only | +0.5 per secondary | landmarks: chest 12, back 14, shoulders 14, biceps 10, triceps 10, forearms 6, quads 14, hamstrings 10, glutes 10, calves 10, core 10 |
| Muscle drill-down | 1W–1Y buckets | +0.5 per secondary (no volume) | nothing — a trend chart |
The landmarks are the app's dashboard defaults, not a law; the weekly sets article covers where they sit and the weekly sets calculator applies them to a planned week. The balance number on the dashboard is derived from those coverages — see what is a muscle balance score.
In plain terms: Levels is a slow, strict average of primary-muscle sets; the dashboard is a fast, generous count of this week against targets.
Gotchas
- Drop and myo sub-entries each count as a set on every surface; warm-ups count nowhere.
- Custom exercises count by the muscles you assigned. A custom move with the wrong primary shifts sets to the wrong row — fix it on the exercise, since history follows the exercise's current definition.
- Deleted custom exercises stop counting. Their sets stay in history but have no muscle to credit.
- The 10 sets/week shade is a rendering choice. Two muscles at 6 and 12 average sets look half and fully shaded; that is the scale, not a judgement.
- The drill-down's volume is primary-only. Secondary sets add 0.5 to the set count but no kilograms, so Volume and Sets can rank exercises differently.
The short version
Levels averages your completed working sets per week per muscle, primary muscle only, over the last 4, 8 or 12 Monday-based weeks, and shades the body map against a fixed 10 sets/week. The dashboard card is a different count — this week, half credit for secondaries, against the landmarks. Tap a muscle to see its weekly bars and the exercises behind them. Zyra Workouts is a training log, and this page describes one of its features as built today. Educational overview only — not medical advice.
