What Symmetric Strength adds
Strength Passport
A private-by-default Strength Passport that shows your score, tier, and any available cohort percentiles in one place. You choose whether to publish it.
Labeled cohort context
When a credible cohort exists, Symmetric Strength labels the percentile, source, sample, and confidence. App cohorts leave out members who turned off community statistics; comparable OpenPowerlifting competition context is shown separately when available.
Fastest Path to your next tier
The app tells you which single lift to improve, and by how much, to reach your next strength tier with the least added weight.
A coach that shows its reasoning
When the Coach can issue a recommendation, it includes the rationale: which weak point it targets, what evidence triggered it, and what result it expects.
