Drop sets

Finish an exercise with drops: same set, less weight, no rest, until you cannot.

Expand the exercise
Routine editor for TREINO A with Bench Press expanded: sets, rest, starting weight and the Warm-up and Drop set controls.Tap Drop set
Pick 1 to 3 drops
The Drop set sheet: No, 1 drop (80% of the last set), 2 drops (80%, then 64%) selected, 3 drops.
The drops wait under the last set
The workout: Bench Press with warm-ups, sets 1 to 4 at 20 × 8 and the rows D1 16.3 and D2 12.5 marked to failure.
Set done, straight to D1
Set 4 logged; the D1 row at 16.3 kg is the current set and no rest started.

Screenshots use fictional demo data.

  • Plan it: In the routine editor, each exercise has a Drop set switch with 1 to 3 drops. The last set gets them.
  • See it: The session shows each drop as D1, D2 under the set it belongs to, with the weight already cut by 20% and rounded to what the bar takes, and “to failure” where the reps would be. Edit the weight if the rack says otherwise.
  • No rest between: Finishing the set jumps straight to its drop. Rest starts after the last one.
  • Progression stays honest: A drop is to failure, so there is nothing to count and your coach never reads it when deciding next session’s weight.
  • Mid-session too: The exercise menu adds a drop set to any exercise; swipe a drop away like a warm-up. The end-of-workout sheet offers to keep the change.

Where to find it: Routines tab, open a day, expand an exercise, Drop set. Needs the newest TestFlight version.
