INSIDE WEIGHTS

Previous workout values, with context

Use previous-session autofill as a starting reference, then record the actual sets you complete today.

The released Weights listing documents last-session autofill. Previous values reduce repeated entry, but today’s log should always show today’s completed weight and repetitions.

Start from a comparable session

A previous result is useful when the exercise, unit and setup match. Check the movement variation and any equipment notes before interpreting the suggested values. A machine displaying the same number as another machine does not make their loads equivalent. Consistent exercise names help you recognize when a past entry is actually relevant.

Treat filled values as editable context

The previous workout is a reference, not evidence that you completed today’s sets. If the prior result was 30 kg for 10 repetitions and today you completed 8, enter 8. Likewise, correct a changed weight. Saving old numbers unchanged would produce a neat chart but an inaccurate training record.

Explain a meaningful change once

A brief note such as “different machine” or “moved later in session” can explain why the result differs. Avoid rewriting the full workout in the notes field; use the structured set entries for weight and repetitions. Keep notes focused on details the numerical fields cannot capture.

Review before drawing a conclusion

One changed set does not by itself establish a trend. Review several comparable entries and their context. The public listing also mentions Next Set guidance, but this page does not assert an adaptive coaching algorithm or a guaranteed progression rule. Your record should describe completed performance rather than a recommendation you did not follow.

A record you can interpret later

Illustrative entries only. These numbers are not a training recommendation.

Common questions

Is an autofilled set already completed?

Treat it as a reference. Record and confirm the performance you actually completed.

Does a previous weight tell me what I should lift?

No. A past value provides context; it does not establish a suitable load for your current circumstances.
