I just finished my first week with the app. I'd love it if you could filter exercises by available equipment. I don't have a full gym at my home and I don't have time to visit a gym as often as I'd like to exercise. So, I have to go through and find exercises that don't require machines and can be done with a set of dumbbells or with body weight. So, a way to filter through exercises would be fantastic! Otherwise, I'm really enjoying having a specific program and not just me randomly selecting exercises I think I should be doing.

My simple go-to warm up method is 50%, 75%, then 100% weight working set. For example: working weight is going to be 100kg for 12 reps, warm up set 1 is 50kg for 12 reps, warm up set 2 is 75kg for 12 reps, then the next set is your first working set of 100kg for 12 reps. Warm up reps can be adjusted depening on how you feel that day. After listening to Mike I may try a 100% warm up set but just a few reps.

I find the heavier I have to go on an exercise and the larger the range of motion the more warmups I personally need. Military press with 175 work set takes maybe 2 warmups. Squatting with 405 is usually like 5-6 warmup sets, usually in the 2-5 rep range. Just my take though

It might be OD, but I like to track and keep my warm ups consistent within sessions. The problem I have with my current tracking app is that the warm-ups get calculated into the overall volume. I know you said to just do the warm-ups by feel, but if there's a way to build the warm-ups into the app, yet have them not factor into the working sets, that might be a cool feature. Please forgive me if your app already does that or every other app that's out there already does that except the one I'm using. Regardless I'm looking forward to trying yours out once it's released. After all everything I know about lifting is because of you.

For example, last week I can bench 10 rep 3 sets, this week I feel weaker and I can only do 8 rep 3 sets same weight. Next week it’s going to be 9 reps mixed with some 10 reps.

Dr. Mike has described this in several videos, and I believe he relates this scenario to accumulated fatigue. Basically, over time, as you lift more weight or perform more reps with the same weight, you can cause a build up of fatigue in muscles, joints, etc.. and in order to mitigate the fatigue accumulation, it’s important to do a deload. The deload is a time period, maybe a week, where you train with much less weight and/or reps. This will give your body time to heal, and then you can begin another mesocycle, or progressively overload again for about a month or more until you see that downward trend in performance again, in this case you see inconsistent rep counts and feel weak certain weeks.. then you deload again. He outlines deloads and mesocycles in other videos. If you cruise around his channel and other channels involving Dr. Mike, you’ll see all the info you need. Hope this helps!

Resting for a breath or two at the top of heavy squats is pretty common towards the end of a tough set.

I hate doing like 10 reps of squat/deadlift on just the empty bar or bodyweight. It feels so intense and burns. Which is bonkers to me because I don't experience too much heavy breath with 2 min breaks between heavy sets of 6 and in general think I'm in decent cardiovascular shape. Maybe I put so much effort into bracing and tensioning the muscles when I don't have to push the weight that the worst part of the training is always the warm up. If I go straight to 50% -> increasing weight in the lift with less reps it's much less exhausting. I don't do that because I don't want knee pain or something that comes from not warming up the joints, but god damn I need a breathing break before hitting the sets if I do really lightweight warm up sets with a lot of reps. But fuck arms or plate above head deep squats. Just 3 of them already kills me.

Hi Mike, is there any particular reason you can't just change the weight for set 2 in the app, instead of duplicating the exercise? Does that mess with whatever algorithm it's using or something if you change the weight? Also the "keep for the rest of the meso" option was a little confusing. Will my bench now have an extra set for the meso? Or distinctly 2 "different" benches where the first one is lower weight and the second is heavier? Unless I were to make them the same weight and then they are just kinda... needlessly separate in the app. Thanks ahead of time for any clarification you can provide!

The short rest thing is bro science. Actual science says shorter rests are actually not that good for hypertrophy, they decrease the quality of sets. You need a good rest so you muscles almost return to their full capacity, and thats better for hypertrophy. In practical terms, you can take as a rule of thumb 3-4min for compound exercises. If youre isolating smaller muscles, they need less time to return to almost full capacity and be ready for another good working set, so there you need less rest, if want a rule of thumb you can take eg one minute as rest for smaller muscle isolation exercises. That short rest stuff is a big reason why bro training has so many sets, their sets are suboptimal, so they do more of them to make up for that. But if youre doing good hard working sets, with good rest between them, you need like 4-6 working sets for a muscle group per workout, and thats perfectly enough to stimulate basically all the hypertrophy you can hope for.

@@zelenisok Sir - thank you so much for taking the time to write this out. I certainly feel like I get a much better set with a 3ish min rest on compounds -- can literally be the difference between another +1-2 reps sometimes. Anyway - I really appreciate the response! Have a good one.
