PulsoGym's History screen doesn't store weight and reps exercise by exercise — it stores each session's summary: how much was lifted in total (tonnage, in kg) and how hard that day felt (RPE, from 1 to 10). That looks thin next to a spreadsheet with one row per set. It's enough, though, to answer the question that matters when someone asks "am I progressing?" — and it answers it without requiring any math done on the side, in a different app.
The numbers already on the screen
On the monthly calendar, every trained day becomes a ring. The outer arc grows with that day's tonnage, relative to the heaviest day of the month — the bigger the arc, the more weight moved in that session. The inner ring changes color with RPE: green for light effort (1 to 4), orange for moderate (5 to 7), red for hard (8 to 10). Opening a day shows both numbers side by side, the session's duration, and, exercise by exercise, how many sets were done — without the weight and reps of each one, which stay on the workout screen, not the history one. At the end of the month, a summary adds it all up: total sessions, total kg lifted, average RPE, and the highest-volume session.
None of these numbers, alone, says "you progressed." Together, they do.
The signal that matters: same tonnage with less effort, or more tonnage with the same effort
Load progression shows up when one of two pairs repeats over weeks, in a similar session — same workout, same day of the program: tonnage holds steady and RPE drops, or tonnage climbs and RPE holds steady. The first case is the same work getting easier; the second is the same effort yielding more work. Both count as progression — only what climbed and what stayed constant changes. What isn't a signal of anything, on its own, is tonnage going up: it also rises when someone adds an extra set or swaps in a heavier exercise, with no real change in capacity at all.
Not every week climbs, and not every exercise climbs at the same pace
A study by Ribeiro and colleagues (2014), published in the European Journal of Sport Science, followed 30 men and 34 women for 16 weeks, in a supervised hypertrophy program — 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps, 3 times a week — measuring, week by week, how much the load for each exercise climbed. Two findings line up directly with what shows up in the app's monthly summary. First, the pace slows down: in the first two weeks of the program, load climbed more than 40% in some exercises; in the last two weeks of that same 8-week phase, the same type of exercise climbed by around 2% to 3%. Second, the speed isn't the same across exercises: leg press and leg extension, multi-joint leg exercises, climbed considerably faster than biceps curl and lateral raise, which are isolated and have less room to add load by nature.
That matters for anyone looking at the month's total kilos and seeing a number close to last month's. That isn't, on its own, a plateau — it can be exactly the curve the study describes: fast at the start, slower afterward, and slower still in exercises that already had little room to climb.
Why look at RPE together with tonnage, not tonnage alone
RPE is subjective: bad sleep, a heavy work week, or hunger change the number the same physical session gets, without the load lifted changing at all. That's why it never replaces tonnage, or the other way around — the two need to agree over weeks, not in a single session, before turning into a conclusion. One high RPE on a bad-sleep day doesn't contradict weeks of rising tonnage: it's one day's noise, not a trend.
Where this meets the app
PulsoGym doesn't open a per-exercise load-trend chart on the History screen — today, what's there is exactly this pair, session by session: tonnage and RPE, with the month's summary on top of both. It isn't a spreadsheet of sets and reps, and it doesn't try to be. It's enough to answer, looking at three or four weeks of rings and one monthly summary, whether training is getting heavier the right way — without opening anything outside the app to find out.
