User defined weight / progression

Seppo V 1 week ago updated 1 week ago 2

I just started my second macrocycle; e.g. today I did the Lower body 7A medium workout second time. On the first workout the AI gave me 80 kilos on the deadlift as a working weight. I increased the weight to 120 kg for reps. Today when I got to do the Deadlift (medium) again, the AI had increased the weight to 85 kg - increased the weight from the originaali 80 kilos,  but it was a significant reduction in weight from the weight I actually used. 

i used the weight suggested by the AI and did few extra reps to what the AI suggested, but my result was almost 20 percent down to the previous medium deadlift. 

It seems that the AI won't adapt to the user made changes in weight.

In medium and easy sessions it’s better to follow app’s suggestions. In the hard ones you can push to the limits. 
otherwise, in exercise settings, you can select ‘challenge’ in order to adapt more quickly

Ok, that sounds logical. But then, the app instructs that "Generally, you should do as many reps as you can with good form and common sense. If that's more than the app recommends, great. Enter what you did, and the app will adjust in 1 workout."

If that is not the case, then the instructions should be modified, or better yet, there should be a plus sign after the number of reps in the workouts where one is supposed to go all out, as I suggested in some previuos feedback.
