Your score reflects your recent performance against your own baseline, so it moves when your recent lifts do: a run of lighter sessions, missed reps, higher effort than usual for the same weight, or not training a lift for a while can all pull it down. It isn't comparing you to other users. A short rough patch shouldn't erase a real baseline: when your recent data is thin or your best lifts are old, Kenso is built to flag that as uncertainty rather than quietly lower your number, so a real drop usually reflects something real in your recent training.

What to do

  • Check which lifts or muscles moved on the Strength Score breakdown before assuming the whole score is wrong.
  • If you took time off or trained lighter on purpose, such as a deload, expect a temporary dip rather than a lasting one.
  • Log a working set close to your recent best on an affected lift when you're ready: that's what moves the score back.

See Strength Score for how it's built.
