Press the barbell up with your hips on the bench and both feet on the floor.

The app sets the weight for your next set
(For exercises you added to your routine yourself) For example, if you are a beginner and completed all 3 sets of 8 reps at 50kg as planned in your last workout, the app sets your next weight to 52.5kg. When you log your sets, GYMKC reads your last set and recalculates the weight and reps for your next set.
