More detailed workout preview

I had a Medium day and started the workout as normal with warmup sets. As I was preparing for the first work set, I noticed that the app gave me such a light weight that it was almost -20% to my previous best. Then I realized that this was marked as a Light (or Easy) set.


I cancelled the light set and the app gave me new weights that had me breaking the old PB, which was just on the money. However, the app also nullified my warmups I had already done. This was slightly annoying, but worse was that I had changed the warmup weights so that I can just add new plates to the bar without the need to srtip old plates. Now my planning was in vein as the weights in the work sets were changed. The same happened in several exercises during the workout.

This happened because in the workout preview, one can only see the reps x weight, but not how it compares to previous PB, or if the workout is scheduled as Easy. So, it would be nice if one could see all data in the workout preview - at least for the upcoming workout.

Another nice improvement would be that the AI would plan ahead the warmup weights to minimize the need to strip plates from the bar. The way I see it, is that it does not make much difference if the warmup set is 6 x 40 kg instead of 7 x 37,5 kg, for example. However it would be much easier to continue adding plates to a 40 kg bar for the next sets.
