Progress shows whether training is working. Bulky turns every logged set into views you can read at a glance — here is what each one is for.
Read the consistency map first
The 12-week map shows which weeks you actually trained. Showing up beats any single great session, and the map makes gaps impossible to argue with.
Use it as a gut check at the start of each week: more than two empty weeks in a row is a schedule problem, not a motivation problem.
Filter volume by period
Filter the stats by 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, or a year. Watch total volume and sets per muscle — if chest got 14 sets this month and back got 5, your programming is answering a question you never asked.
Compare the 30-day view with the 3-month view once a month. Volume that climbs slowly is the shape progress usually takes.
Dig into any day's history
Open the history and check any past date: exercises, sets, kilos, and the notes you wrote that day. This is where you find out what you were doing when the numbers moved.
Read the notes before you change a program. A stall that coincides with three "slept badly" notes has an obvious fix.
Turn stats into next week's plan
Use the month calendar alongside the stats and decide with numbers: add a set to the muscles lagging in volume, repeat the weight where reps stalled, book a lighter week when the map shows four hard weeks in a row.
Five minutes with these views on Sunday beats any amount of remembered effort. The diary does the remembering; you make the calls.
