Coming Back from Break Option

Marc David 4 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 4 years ago 1

2 weeks off.. come back and the leg workout scheduled looks like it might kill me!

I can can pick "I'm Feeling Tired" but really all that does is just reduce the number of sets.  I want to reduce the load to a maximum of 60% and then ramp up.

I could just pick my own weight and do it but it always looks like you did a terrible workout when in fact it really isn't.

The idea...

An option to click "Coming Back from Break" and the app will take whatever it was you were going to do, reduce it so it's only a max of 60% and then you work your way back.  Making the goals for the day.. X percentage and then it shows progress vs a whole load of deloading ahead. 

I don't necessarily want to deload from the current workout onward.

What I want to do is take what you have scheduled.. reduce it .. and then move forward.

Marc, that's a great suggestion, and I'm happy to say we released that exact feature on June 14! You can learn more it here: https://dr-muscle.com/overtraining/

It looks like it didn't trigger for you though this time tough, so I'll be following up by email. I'm thinking maybe you trained once during that break. We'll see 1-on-1 (trying to keep this forum for feature requests).

Cheers, and all the best in 2020!
