Strength training guides
Totality guides explain the math, tradeoffs, and training context behind features like muscle volume, estimated 1RM, RIR, RPE, exercise suggestions, PR tracking, and advanced workout logging.
Guides
College coaching
Totality is offered free for college students. Student coaches, S&C interns, exercise science students, and club sport leaders can email evanroebke@totalityworkoutapp.com to discuss access.
Coaching workflow
How to choose software for assigning workouts, percentage loading, RIR targets, athlete history, forms, check-ins, and program management.
App comparison
A neutral guide for lifters who like Hevy-style logging but want deeper RIR, RPE, 1RM, PR, muscle volume, and coaching context.
Direct comparison
A fair comparison for lifters choosing between Strong's simple gym log and Totality's analytics-first strength tracker.
App alternative
Compare Fitfo's TikTok and Reels-to-workout workflow with Totality's strength analytics, PRs, RIR, volume, and coaching context.
Workout analytics
A guide to the strength insights that matter after set volume: RIR, RPE, intensity, PRs, muscle distribution, frequency, and recovery context.
Muscle volume
How Totality assigns set contribution by muscle, why compound lifts need nuance, and where muscle volume tracking helps or breaks down.
Fractional sets
What fractional sets mean, why compound lifts need partial muscle credit, and how to use them without pretending the math is perfect.
Fractional volume
How fractional volume turns logged sets into per-muscle workload, where it helps, and why it should be read beside effort and strength trends.
Effort guide
A plain-English comparison of reps in reserve and rating of perceived exertion, plus when each effort metric is useful.
Progressive overload
What to look for in a workout app that helps you add weight, reps, and volume at the right time without turning progression into guesswork.
Calculation guide
A plain-English breakdown of the 1RM and RIR math behind exercise suggestions, where it helps, where it breaks, and how feedback can motivate better sessions.
Comparison guide
Compare Totality, Hevy, and Strong for lifters who care about PRs, estimated 1RM, RIR, volume, and progression analytics.
