How do I know when I'm in a de-loading phase?
Maybe also explain that missing a rep range may drop your sets on subsequent workout but that is normal and is necessary to prevent over training and get you back on track to hit new max's. Putting together a demo that walks through a few cycles and demonstrates these different scenarios would be very helpful.

I'm voting this +1 and marking it as "Planned." We should have it out in beta by next week.
The app will understand in more detail what's going on with your training and cut sets 50% and load 90% when you plateau—it will also let you know when its making these changes and link to an article on our blog that explains our approach to deloads.
For now, I do explain the different scenarios in the video demo at the top of this page: https://drmuscleapp.com/. But that video will be outdated once we release the next update.
Thank you for your suggestion Steve.
