Pillars First of six

Soma

Body

The Greeks trained for aretē: excellence of the body. Soma is the training log built for that kind of attention. Lifting, cardio and breathwork share one engine, and a record is caught the moment the set is logged.

Exercises: 270+
PR formulas: 7
Advanced set types: 6

One set, estimated seven ways.

205 lb for 6 reps. Ask seven published formulas for a one-rep max and the answers span 13 lb. Soma averages all seven instead of trusting any one.

Estimated one-rep max for 205 lb × 6, by formula. The glowing line is the average Soma stores as the e1RM.

Built for how training actually goes.

Three kinds of record: Heaviest weight, best estimated 1RM and biggest single-set volume, each tracked per exercise and badged on the set that earned it.
Advanced set types: Supersets, circuits, drop sets, rest-pause, myo-reps and tempo work, built into the logger rather than bolted on.
A library that knows the body: 270+ exercises across lifting, cardio, yoga, breathwork and rehab, each with primary and secondary targets and the equipment it needs.
Programs and templates: Multi-week programs with progressive overload, plus templates you can save, reorder and reuse.
Pick up where you left off: Finished too early? Reopen the session for up to 12 hours. Saved sets stay saved and are never written twice.
Analytics: Volume over weeks, muscle distribution, streaks and strength standards, so imbalances show up before they hurt.

What the research says.

Progressive overload is the #1 predictor of hypertrophy.

Schoenfeld et al., J Strength Cond Res 2017

1RM estimation varies up to 15% between formulas.

LeSuer et al., J Strength Cond Res 1997

Sleep deprivation reduces strength output by 5 to 10%.

Knowles et al., Sports Med 2018

Training to failure isn’t always optimal. It depends on volume and recovery.

Vieira et al., Sports Med 2021

What Soma hears from the other pillars

Training doesn’t happen in isolation, so the logger doesn’t either.

From HýpnosLast night’s sleep stages and HRV set today’s Training Readiness before the first warm-up set.
From TrophēProtein and calories logged today sit next to the training load they’re meant to support.
From MétronBodyweight and measurements put strength in context, so a heavier lift and a lighter body both count.
