Interesting suggestion Marc. Thank you. I like it.

For now, you'd have to create a custom workout with that exercise, or exit your workout and go to the exercises section to perform just that one. But that's a hassle compared to you suggestion to swap, which would make it much faster. Love it.

We've updated the 1RM formula inside the algorithm last week. So if you haven't done that exercise since the update, yes, it's a quirk of the algorithm.

To override the deload:

1) Go to your history (Home > Workouts (top) > History (bottom left))

2) Find the workout that triggered your deload

3) Delete that exercise in that workout

4) Enter that exercise again today in the app, but enter 6 sets of 9 reps (instead of 8) at 25 kg

The app should record that your 1RM has increased, and you won't get a deload.

Another option is to simply do more reps / add weight on your next workout with that exercise, hence "manually" ignoring the deload the app is recommending. The app will adjust on your next workout.

I realise this is a bit of a hassle, but we had to update the 1RM formula to improve the app. We're in early access and we improve the app often. Soon enough, the app will be more stable and these quirks won't happen.

I appreciate your patience and thoughtful comments. Thanks!

This feature is now one of the most popular :)

So, I'm marking it as "Planned".

For now, here's how you can do drop sets with the app:

If the app says to do 2 sets, and you did this:

Set 1: 20kg for 10 reps followed by 10kg for 10 reps and then 5kg for 10 reps

Set 2: 20kg for 10 reps followed by 10kg for 10 reps and then 5kg for 10 reps

You would enter:

Set 1: 20 kg for 10 reps

Set 2: 20 kg for 10 reps

That's it. Don't write your drop sets down. It doesn't actually make a difference, because drop sets do not influence your progression inside the app and its recommendations.

On your next workout, the app will recommend another top weight in another rep range. You can drop that weight at your leisure.

I realise you're not recording your drop sets in your history, so this solution is far from perfect. We'll fix that when we implement the drop set feature. But for now, the training effect will be the same.

Good idea. I like that. I'm marking it +1.

We're going to add a screen inside the app where you can make sure that setting is correct. We plan on doing it next week. I'm marking this as "Planned" for now. I'll update again when it's done. Cheers!

Until we implement this, I recommend you check http://exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html. They have a very comprehensive database of exercises, all with images and videos. They've got 92 exercises just for the abs! We use the same names in our app, so they're easy to check.

Glad we're clear :)

4-d/w would be:

Monday

Tuesday

Thursday

Friday

Ideally. But people can always "Remind me tomorrow", yes.

Hey Nick :)

Here's how I see it:

You're doing full-body workouts, 3 days a week.

You workout on day 1 (whichever day that is).

2 days later, app tells you to workout again. That's optimal for recovery and supercompensation. If you can, you work out on that day. If you can't, you ask the app to "remind me tomorrow".

Would that be annoying do you?

Thank you for that suggestion guys!

Note to self: it could be done on [Save Workout]

Spoke with Marc David today and he said:

- Got lost
- Wasn't sure if taping "Finish Exercise" transmitted one or two exercises
