Exercises you have already finished (saved) show a green checkmark next to them. That way, you know. Checkmarks don't disappear until you "Finish and save" and workout (bottom button).

Hi Marc,

You can resume the workout you're on if it's part of your program. Here's how:

Open app

Home screen

Start today's workout (bottom button)

Save a few sets / exercises, but don't tap "finish and save workout"

Navigate away

Back to home page

Tap the same button for today's workout

Voilà! You're back to your workout. Does that work for what you're trying to accomplish?

Hi Jon. The way to make this work is to update your increments before you actually begin doing the exercise. But I'll keep this issue open here in case other users struggle with it. We implement topics with the most votes first, so if this gets lots of votes, we'll review how that works inside the app.

Hi Tomislav,

Greg Nuckols makes a good case that this theory is unfounded here: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/muscle-fiber-type/.

To recap:

1. Most muscles in your body have a fairly even split of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers; very few muscles are (on average) incredibly fast-twitch or slow-twitch dominant.
   
2. There’s not a practical test to know whether a particular muscle is composed primarily of fast-twitch or slow-twitch fibers. The methods you’d typically use in a gym setting (seeing how many reps you’d get with a particular percentage of your 1rm) have virtually no predictive power.
   
3. The idea that you should train muscles differently based on their predominant muscle fiber type comes from the notion that fast-twitch muscle fibers respond best to heavy weights and low reps, and that slow-twitch muscle fibers respond best to light weights and high reps. Evidence is still very mixed on this point – it’s not yet clear that particular training styles specifically target fast-twitch or slow-twitch fibers in the first place.
   
4. Even if there was good evidence for fiber type specific hypertrophy, and even if there was a good, practical test to know a muscle’s fiber type breakdown, it still wouldn’t change the general recommendation to keep training that muscle with a variety of rep ranges.

With that said, it may still be possible to find out if a lifter progresses better with high or low reps and to adjust to the lifter’s personal physiology, as Barrett suggested. But I'd be really surprised if that had to do with fibre type.

Hi Tony,

Yes, absolutely. This has been suggested before and gotten a number of votes already; please cast yours here: https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/24-smart-watch-integration-samsung-galaxy-gear-apple-watch-etc

Hi Bob. It's real time, and you can edit your sets right then and there on the same page where you save them. Best, Carl.
