You are not racing the world. You are racing a past session.
Every session from week two shows a ghost: a session you have already done, set by set, as a figure to beat and a ring to close. Beat it and the session says so.
Pick who you race
Last week. The same session, seven days ago. The default for weeks two and three.
Same week, last cycle. Week one of Chimera against week one of Chimera the last time you ran it. The default for week one, which otherwise has nothing to race.
Best ever. Your biggest session on each exercise, from any program, ever. It never gets easier.
A squad mate. Their most recent top set on the same main lift, scaled to your max by relative intensity: Nick benching 110 for 5 at 88 percent of his max becomes 87.5 for 5 against your 100. A 60 kg lifter and a 110 kg lifter race the same effort. Only mates who have done the lift in the last fortnight are offered.
Tap "Racing" at the top of the session card to choose. The choice is remembered per program. Week four is a deload and races nothing.
The ring
The dial has two rings. The outer one is your sets. The inner one is the ghost: it fills as today's volume on this exercise catches the ghost's, and closes when you have beaten it. The delta under the dial updates every set. On the session card the same race shows as a figure per exercise and a total at the top.
Whichever ghost you race, a win on the squad feed and in the missions means beating last week, so the feed means one thing for everyone. The session summary and the share card name the ghost you raced and whether you beat it.
Tap any target.
Every target on the card, and the big number on the Gym Mode dial, opens the working in your own numbers: your training max, times the week's percentage for that set, times the day's readiness, rounded to the plate. A back-off day shows which two scores pulled the number down. A deload set says it is light on purpose. If a max was recalibrated recently, the sheet says when and from what.
Accessories show their rule instead: last week's weight, plus 2.5 if you reached the top of the rep range, the same if you did not.
Nothing in the sheet is calculated separately. It reads the same numbers the card does, so it cannot disagree with the weight it is explaining.
Race yourself
Your first ghost appears in week two. Set up takes five minutes.
