Muscle rank tracker
Muscle rank tracker
GymLevels is a workout tracker for iOS and Android that gives every muscle group its own rank, from Untrained up to Legend, based on the training you log. The body map shows at a glance which muscles are ahead and which are falling behind.

Tiers
Every rank and the XP it takes
A muscle starts at Untrained and climbs through Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum (three steps each), then Diamond, Master and Legend. The gaps widen as you go, so top ranks take months of consistent work. Thresholds are per muscle, from the app (checked 24 September 2026):
| Rank | Muscle XP needed |
|---|---|
| Untrained | 0 |
| Bronze I / II / III | 100 / 300 / 600 |
| Silver I / II / III | 1,000 / 1,500 / 2,200 |
| Gold I / II / III | 3,000 / 4,000 / 5,500 |
| Platinum I / II / III | 7,500 / 10,000 / 13,000 |
| Diamond | 17,000 |
| Master | 22,000 |
| Legend | 30,000 |
Muscle groups
Which muscles get a rank
Every one of these has its own rank, XP bar and spot on the front or back body map:
Chest, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps, Forearms, Traps, Lats, Middle back, Lower back, Abs, Obliques, Glutes, Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Adductors, Abductors, Calves.
Splitting the back into lats, middle back, lower back and traps, and the hips into glutes, adductors and abductors, is what makes gaps visible. A program heavy on bench and curls shows up as a bright chest and arms next to an Untrained lower back.
Weak spots
How to find weak or neglected muscle groups
The quickest way to find a weak muscle group is to look at what you actually train. Apps that score a physique from a photo estimate how a muscle looks. GymLevels ranks what you log: a muscle you rarely train stays at a low rank however it looks, and a muscle you train hard climbs even before it shows.
- Lowest ranks first. Muscles still at Untrained or Bronze are the ones your program skips. Because the back and hips are split into separate muscles (lower back, middle back, lats, hamstrings, adductors, abductors), gaps there show up instead of hiding inside “back” or “legs”.
- Check secondary credit. A muscle that only ever gets the 30% secondary share, because it only ever helps in other lifts, climbs slowly. Give it an exercise where it is a primary muscle.
- Look at the week, not just the rank. Ranks are a running total and never drop, so the weekly report is the better check for what you trained this week.
- Don’t confuse rank with recovery. The percentage on each muscle shows how recovered it is, not how strong or how well trained. Only primary-muscle work resets it.
Using it
How to use ranks to balance your training
- Filter the rankings to spot the lowest-ranked muscles, then add an exercise for them to your next session.
- Let Today’s Workout help. It picks a split based on which muscles have recovered and can target the muscles you choose.
- Watch your overall rank. It follows your average across all muscle groups, so it only climbs steadily when you train the whole body.
- Check the weekly report to see which muscles you trained most that week.
FAQ
Common questions
What is a muscle rank tracker?
An app that scores each muscle group separately instead of giving you one overall number, so you can see which parts of your body you train most and which you neglect. GymLevels does this with a rank per muscle group, from Untrained to Legend.
How does GymLevels decide a muscle's rank?
Each completed set earns XP based on its volume (weight × reps for weighted exercises). That XP goes in full to the exercise's primary muscles and 30% of it to its secondary muscles. A muscle's total XP sets its rank.
Is a muscle rank a strength standard?
No. Ranks reflect the training volume you've logged for that muscle over time, not a comparison of your one-rep max with other lifters. For strength, GymLevels tracks personal records and an estimated one-rep max per exercise.
What is my overall rank?
Your overall rank is the tier matching the average XP across all your muscle groups, so neglecting a few muscles holds it back.
Can ranks go down?
Ranks are based on the XP you have earned, which doesn't decay. The app separately shows muscle recovery, so you can see what is fresh to train today.
