How do I mark a set as a warm-up, dropset, or failure set?
Give each set a type so your client knows whether it's a warm-up, a working set, a dropset, or a set taken to failure.
Every set on an exercise carries a set type. The type is a label your client sees in their workout player, so they know how to approach that set rather than treating them all the same.
Set types are chosen in the workout builder, on the web dashboard under Training → Workouts.
Set the type on a set
- Open the workout in Training → Workouts, or click New workout.
- On the exercise card, click the set-number button at the start of the set's row.
- Pick a type from the Set type menu. RegulardefaultWarm UpDropsetFailure
- Save the workout.
Regular sets show their set number. The other types show a letter instead: W, D, or F. Set types are per set, so one exercise can open with two Warm Up sets, run three Regular sets, and finish with a Dropset.
What each set type tells your client
In the client app, the client taps a set's type to see an explanation of it, so you don't need to write the definition into your notes. They see:
| Set type | Explanation the client sees |
|---|---|
| Warm Up | Lighter weight and higher reps before the main sets, to increase blood flow and flexibility and reduce injury risk |
| Dropset | Lift until muscle fatigue, then quickly reduce the weight and continue for more reps |
| Failure | Perform reps until you can't maintain proper form, while keeping safety first |
Regular sets have no explanation. They're the standard working sets.
Combine set types with reps and rest
The set type sits alongside the rest of the set's configuration — reps as a number or a range, rest up to 59:59, tempo, and the each side flag. If a set needs more explanation than its type gives, add a note to the exercise. Notes are shown to the client on that exercise, attributed to you.
Set types are labels for the client. They don't change what the client logs — that's controlled by the exercise's tracking columns. You can program up to 20 sets per exercise, whatever their type.
