1 — Load & intensity. The first label sets how hard the set is. It defaults to Weight. Click it to choose instead %1RM, Level / Intensity (great for cardio machines), Bodyweight, RPE (by level or by weight), or None if no load is expected. Any labels below the line are custom ones — add your own with Add a custom label.

2 — Reps, time or distance. The second label defaults to Repetitions. Click it to switch to as much as possible (MAX) in reps, time or distance, a fixed Distance, a Repetition Interval (e.g. 8–10 reps), a Time target, or KM — and you can add custom labels here too.
