Drill into one movement to see recent work, past sets, and the context behind a change.

Workout history tells you what happened in a session. Exercise history answers
a narrower question: what has happened for this movement across sessions?

  - **Recent work** See recent completed sets for a movement without reopening every workout
    manually.

  - **Across sessions** Compare load, reps, and estimated 1RM over time.

  - **Training context** Use notes and surrounding workout detail to understand why a result changed.
    A bad night's sleep explains a lot.

> **When estimated 1RM holds still.** A movement can hold load steady while reps or RIR improve. Check the sets
>   alongside the estimated 1RM line. See
>   [Analytics methodology](/docs/analytics-methodology) for how that number is
>   calculated.
