The app only recommens 1 set

Bogdan Filip 8 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 8 years ago 2

It's nice beating the app :))


But it's strange that for a lot of my exercises the app only recommens 1 set. I preffer to do 3 sets for each exercise. Why is it saying to do just one set ? Should I follow it or just do my regular 3 sets ?

Good point: the app does recommend 1 set often right now. In the next version, we're going to tweak our recommendations and push a little harder. You'll do more sets. For now, I'm marking this as "Started". ETA is about 1 week (in beta) and 2 weeks (live).

Until then, if you prefer to do 3 sets, sure, go ahead and do 3 sets. But remember this: the point is to improve (get stronger). If you're improving with 1 set, maybe you don't need 3 sets. But if you like doing 3 sets, by all means enjoy yourself and do 3 sets.
