How weyt.ai scores it
- Balance: every logged set counts toward the Hamstrings group, which needs at least 6 sets per 30 days for full credit.
- Strength: counts as a lift. Your best working set each session feeds a best lift estimate (an estimated one-rep max) per lift, read over 12 weeks on the Strength screen.
- Routine: any session that includes it counts toward your weekly target, the 4-week consistency window and your streak.
Scoring is plain arithmetic, not AI: the same sets always give the same result. 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.
