Reverse Nordic
The reverse nordic is an extension for the quads, done with bodyweight only. On weyt.ai it counts toward Balance as Quads (minimum 10 sets per 30 days) and toward your 12-week strength trend, where each rep counts as 50% of your bodyweight plus whatever you add.

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.
- Strength: counts as a lift. Each rep counts as 50% of your bodyweight plus whatever you add, so it earns volume, a best lift estimate (an estimated one-rep max) and PR credit like a loaded lift.
- 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.
