That makes sense, thank you for the help.

Is there a workaround for this?  I'm having some lower back problems.  For now, I can safely do most of my upper-body workouts but need to do some plyometrics to replace lower body days for a while.  Should I just put in the same weight/reps on the lower body days as I did before, indicating I made 0.00% progress?  Or is there a better way?  Is there a way to block my program from "leveling up" until I'm able to safely do lower body workouts?

Since this issue is pretty old, I thought I should check to see if the current version of the application has a more effective work around.

Thanks.

Okay, thank you.  I may go request a feature that on the easy exercises, we can see what % of the hard they currently are.  I find myself constantly curious/worried that I'm progressing too fast or too slow with the easy lifts to keep them in the zone where they are helpful.

I appreciate the information; thanks again.

Does this feature auto-recalculate each time?  I've reached the point in my training with the DrMuscle app where it occasionally throws in easy days to help me continue to progress. The 'easy' exercises seem to have their own progression, adding to the reps and weight-per-rep each time based on what I did the last time that easy exercise came up.

It seems like the easy exercises started out as a percentage of their hard versions but then progressed as any other exercise would. I'm getting concerned that I need to make sure my XYZ(easy) lift progresses at the same rate as XYZ to ensure that it stays in the proper range.
