Mesocycle Report

The Mesocycle Report is a retrospective summary of a single training block. It pulls together everything that happened during a mesocycle — how consistently you trained, how your volume progressed, what got stronger, and which records you set — into one screen.

You can open a report at any time, but it's most useful when looking back after a mesocycle is complete to see how the block went and decide what to change next time.

Opening a report​

  • On mobile — Go to More → Mesocycle History, then tap any training block to open its report. When you complete a mesocycle, its report opens automatically.
  • On the web — Open a program instance and tap View Report.

Reports are available for running, completed, paused, and archived mesocycles. For a block still in progress, the report reflects everything logged so far.

What's in the report​

Highlights​

A quick top-line summary: number of weeks, overall adherence, total workouts and sets, total volume lifted, and how many PRs you hit. If you got stronger, your biggest single est-1RM gain is called out here.

Weekly adherence​

A per-week breakdown of completed vs. prescribed sets. Finished sessions count toward 100% even if you adjusted set counts on the day; weeks you partially or fully skipped show a lower bar. Deload weeks are marked so the lighter prescription reads correctly.

Volume progression​

Total tonnage (weight × reps) logged each week, shown as a bar per week. This is where you can see your overload curve build through the loading weeks and dip on the deload.

If the block included any bodyweight or bodyweight+ work, this splits into two numbers — Tonnage (external) (added weight only) and Tonnage (incl. BW) (external plus your bodyweight's contribution) — both in the highlights row and as a stacked bar per week. Blocks with no bodyweight exercises show the same single number as before.

Strength change​

For each exercise, your best estimated 1RM in the first week you trained it versus the last week, with the change shown in your weight unit and as a percentage. Exercises are sorted by biggest gain first.

note

Strength change compares your first and last week in the block, so a single off-day late in the cycle won't erase a real gain.

Personal records​

Lifts during this mesocycle that beat your best estimated 1RM from before the block started. Each entry shows the working set (weight × reps), its estimated 1RM, and how much it improved on your previous best. See Personal Records for how PRs are detected.

tip

A brand-new exercise with no prior history won't show as a PR — there's nothing to beat yet. Its first real numbers become the baseline for next time.

Training mix​

How your logged sets broke down by rep range (heavy / moderate / light), push vs. pull, and body region (upper / lower / core), plus how many distinct exercises you ran. Useful for spotting whether a block drifted away from its intended emphasis.

Program score​

A premium Balance Score for the block's prescribed volume — a letter grade for how evenly the program distributed work across muscle groups, plus a hypertrophy-stimulus grade. This mirrors the score on the program detail page.

Exporting a report​

Any report can leave HyperIron as a file — to archive a finished block, send it to a coach, or crunch the numbers yourself. Open the report and tap Export, then choose a format:

  • Plain Text — A readable summary of every section (highlights, weekly adherence, weekly volume, strength change, PRs, training mix). Good for copy/paste into a message or a training journal.
  • PDF — A print-ready report sheet in the HyperIron style, with the highlight tiles, adherence and volume bars, and each section as its own card. On the web this opens your browser's print dialog (choose Save as PDF); on mobile it generates a PDF file you can share.
  • CSV — A spreadsheet-friendly file with one block per section (each with its own header row), so you can chart adherence, tonnage, or est-1RM change in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers.

The export always matches the report you're looking at: the same numbers, the same weight unit, and both tonnage columns when the block included bodyweight work. The premium Program Score section is included only if you have access to it — otherwise the export simply leaves it out.

Using the report to plan the next block​

The report is designed to feed directly into your next mesocycle:

  • Low adherence on certain days? Consider trimming volume or rescheduling those sessions.
  • Volume flat or falling across the loading weeks? Check your fatigue ratings and progression settings — under autoregulation, flat load usually means the logged sets themselves plateaued.
  • A lift that stalled? It may be a candidate for an exercise substitution next block.
  • Training mix drifted? Rebalance your workout days before starting again.
