Train the competition set. Competition Set, at the top of Rounds, sets up one ten-minute round the way it runs on the platform: five seconds to get ready, the clock counting up, and the time called. It asks first, and it is a starting point rather than a mode — change anything you like afterwards. The clock, in Settings and at the bottom of Rounds: • Counts up or down while you lift. Get Ready and rest always count down. • Beep before each round: a beep on each of the last five seconds of Get Ready and of every rest. • Call the time: a beep every minute, two at 30 and 10 seconds left, and one on each of the last five — the way the time is called on the platform. All three are off until you turn them on. Do it again: • Repeat Workout, on any workout in History, sets up the same rounds, lifts, bells and times and takes you to the timer. • Recent Workouts, at the top of Rounds, lists the workouts you have run lately, so going back to one is a tap. Everything stays on your phone. Nothing is sent to us.

See where your sets stand in the sport. KettleForge now reads your sets against the rank standards of Russia's unified sports classification — the numbers kettlebell sport is judged by: lifts in ten minutes, per rank, per weight category, with the bells each rank is lifted with. Under any round that reaches one, History says so: "Meets the CMS standard", with the division and weight category it was read in. KettleForge compares; a rank itself is only awarded at competition. To be read, a set needs your sex and bodyweight. Both are in Profile, both optional, and both can come from Apple Health. Profile also shows your weight category, the last standard you met, and Ranks — the whole table to look up by sex, category and bell — with links to the federation's own documents. With Pro: • Progress shows the standards for each lift and bell, ticked where you have met them, and a round that reads against the table shows the next standard and how far away it is. • A goal can be a rank standard. Pick one and the lifts and set length fill in; change them and it becomes your own number again. • Training Report, for your coach: any stretch of dates as a PDF, sized for A4 or US Letter. Every workout, every round, its per-minute counts, the standards met, and each goal with a bar showing how close the best set came. Share it from Progress, or for one workout from History. Share cards now show the standard a round meets. Pro has a home in Profile: your plan and when it renews, Manage Subscription, Restore Purchases, and — for subscribers — a way to switch to Lifetime. If a renewal payment fails, the app says so and shows you how to fix it, rather than just locking. Apple Health: KettleForge no longer writes your weight. It reads your weight and sex, and your copy in the app is the one it uses — Read from Apple Health brings it up to date when you want it to. Everything stays on your phone. Nothing is sent to us.

KettleForge Pro is here — see how every lift has moved from one session to the next. • Progress tab: your best set for each exercise and bell weight, charted over time • Pace held: how much of your opening pace lasts to the end of a set • Arm balance: whether your weaker arm is catching up on one-arm lifts • Goals: set a number of lifts and a set length, and see every set measured against it • Share cards: post a round or a whole workout as an image — free Everything you record stays free. Pro is monthly, yearly with two weeks free, or a one-time purchase.

Every set you finish can now be saved to Apple Health. Connect Apple Health from the new Profile tab and each set lands in Health as a Functional Strength Training workout, with a segment for every round and a pause wherever you stopped the clock — so it sits on the right stretch of your day, not just as a length and a number. It carries an estimate of the active energy it burned, worked out from the lifts, how long they lasted and your weight. Delete a set from History and it leaves Health too. Profile has its own tab. It holds your bodyweight — typed in, or read from Apple Health, whichever reading is newer — which is what the energy estimate is made from, and it can save a weight you type back to Health. Under Today it shows how much energy you have burned today and how much of it came from KettleForge. The Apple Health list shows exactly what the app reads and writes; any change to it is made in the Health app. Everything to do with Health is optional, and it stays on your phone. Nothing is sent anywhere, as before. Getting around: History and Profile now have the ordinary tab bar. The timer keeps its screen to itself — the button at the left of its bottom bar opens a menu to the other two.

Every round is now read against the last time you lifted it. Open a workout in History and each round says what it did and what it did last time — "Last time 36 over 3 min" — with that earlier round drawn over the minute-by-minute bars as a dashed line. A set that went out fast and faded and a set that held its pace can finish on the same total, and only the shape says which of the two happened. Rounds are compared over the whole minutes they share, not by their totals. Ten minutes last week against three minutes today is not a comparison, it is a subtraction describing the clock; and a pace is not an effort either, because fifteen a minute for two minutes is a warm-up while fifteen for ten is a competition set. Where a round is too short to share a whole minute with anything, it says so rather than inventing a number. A workout now lists its rounds. It used to be one row naming the session after its first lift, with a count beside it admitting there had been others — so three rounds of long cycle and then two of jerk looked exactly like two of jerk and then three of long cycle. Each round is its own row now, with the lift it was, the bells it used and what it counted. Rounds can be moved. Move one up or down, insert a round below any other, and delete any round rather than only the last. The numbering closes up behind you, so there is no round 1 and round 3 with nothing in between, and a workout that already had a gap in it is put right on the next launch. Inserting below a round copies its lift, its work and its rest, which is also how a round is duplicated. Smaller things: a rep is called a lift now in English too — the sport's own word, and what the Russian has said all along. And a session's length no longer counts the walk back to the bells: Get Ready is not training, so it is left out of the total.

The count now knows which lift you are doing. You could select snatch, do jerk, and still be counted. Not any more. The three competition lifts are told apart by the shape of the movement itself: a jerk never drops below the rack, a long cycle goes to a backswing every rep, and a snatch travels from the backswing to lockout without stopping on the chest. Do a different movement and nothing is counted, rather than something being counted wrongly — a count filed under the wrong lift is worse than no count at all, because it goes into your history as fact and stays there. The bells are part of it now. One bell and two are different movements, and the app watches for the one you actually chose. A snatch is really two sets. On a single bell every rep records which hand lifted it, so 40 and 30 no longer reads the same as 35 and 35. Open a set in History and each round shows the count for each hand and the minute you changed. It is recorded, not refereed — change hands as often as you need to. The app speaks Russian. All of it, in the language of the sport rather than the gym. Fixed: the first jerk of a set counts. The bells come off the platform once the timer is running, and that clean was reading as the drop into a backswing that a long cycle makes every rep — so a jerk set began one rep short. And a slow snatch is no longer missed for being slow: snatch and long cycle used to be told apart by a stopwatch, which punished a tiring lifter; the pause on the chest separates them now, which is what the clock was standing in for all along.

Every round now has its own lift and its own bells. A training day is rarely one movement — three rounds of long cycle, two of jerk, two of snatch is an ordinary shape, and until now the app could name only one of them. Each round is set up on its own; the bar above the transport names the round you are in, and through a rest it names the one you are walking back to. History says "Long Cycle +1" rather than calling a mixed session by its first lift, and a recorded set is laid out round by round, each with its own lift, bells and per-minute breakdown. A workout adds up. The round list closes with Work, Rest and Total — the time that will actually be counted down rather than the time that was typed in. Everything about the camera is behind the camera. One control above the clock offers the feed and the settings, and says which of the two it can honour. Tapping the clock opens the rounds. A paused set is still a set in progress: the count stays on screen, the round list marks the phase you stopped in, and the feed can be tuned while the camera is idle. The Get Ready you set is the Get Ready you get. A raised hand starts the workout and changes nothing else about it. Fixed: stopping a set that was paused mid-round could crash the app, and a workout exactly an hour long read 60:00 instead of 1:00:00.
