Train every muscle. See it on your body.
Ascend's anatomy heatmap colours every muscle by training volume across the last 7 days. Built on real anatomical paths — not a stock silhouette — so chest/back/leg balance is obvious at a glance.
What you get
- Front + back body view with 30+ named muscle regions
- Volume-weighted heat colouring (red = fresh, blue = recovered)
- Strain board surfaces under-trained muscles for next session
- Tracks lifts, cardio, and mobility — not just barbell work
- Free in core tracking. No premium gate.
FAQ
How does Ascend calculate muscle load?
Every set you log is mapped to its primary + secondary muscles using the exercise library taxonomy. Weight × reps × RPE feeds a per-muscle 7-day load score that drives the heatmap colour.
Does it work for cardio and mobility?
Yes. Runs map to calves/quads/glutes/core. Mobility sessions reduce strain on the targeted regions so the board flips toward recovered.
Do I need a wearable for this?
No. The heatmap runs on logged workouts. Optional Apple Health / Health Connect sync adds steps + heart-rate context but isn't required.
