How Routines Drive the Logger
Routines in HeavySet drive the workout logger and make logging your workout as efficient as possible — so you spend more time concentrating on your workout and less fiddling about with the app.
Exercise Groups
When you add an exercise to a routine you are actually adding an Exercise Group. Exercise Groups may have more than one exercise — adding more exercises to a group creates a superset or giant set. Within these groups the workout logger will switch between exercises automatically after each set has been logged.
Min / Max Sets
The set value for an Exercise Group dictates how the workout logger advances through the workout.
Groups with one exercise
Once you select an exercise and start logging sets, the logger will remain on that exercise until either:
- You choose another exercise.
- You reach the max sets for the exercise group.
If you log the maximum number of sets for an exercise in a routine, the logger will attempt to advance the workout. It does this by selecting the first exercise in the routine that is incomplete and has not been skipped.
An exercise is considered incomplete if the number of logged sets is less than the minimum number of sets, and/or the maximum number of sets.
Groups with multiple exercises
While you are logging exercises in an exercise group that has multiple exercises, the logger will switch to the next exercise in the group until all exercises have logged the max number of sets.
If max sets is not set, the logger will continue to cycle through the exercises until you switch to another exercise.
Exercise Parameters
Each exercise in a routine can carry the parameters below. You set them per exercise in the routine editor, and the logger uses them to pre-fill each set as you train:
- Min / Max Reps
- Min / Max Duration
- Intensity
- Rep Max
- Rest Duration
- RPE
- Tempo
- Update Training Max
