How weyt.ai scores it
- Balance: every logged set counts toward the Quads group, which needs at least 10 sets per 30 days for full credit.
- Gains: load-scored. Your best working set each session feeds an estimated one-rep max and a volume trend per lift over 8 weeks.
- Routine: any session that includes it counts toward your weekly target, the 4-week consistency window and your streak.
Scoring is deterministic code, not AI: the same sets always give the same Weyt Score. Read the method on the about page. This lift also has published strength standards, so it can set your Weyt Age and your standing against lifters your age.
