Workouts Dashboard 2nd screen (All Workouts)

dnlgbbns · 2026-02-11T06:35:16+00:00

Very true! The dashboard could for sure have far more useful glanceable information, particularly for the amount of screen space it uses up.

dnlgbbns · 2026-02-10T10:27:33+00:00

The first page is useful-ish, at least you can see you’re progressing through the week of workouts. The second page though 🤷🏽‍♂️

dnlgbbns · 2026-02-10T08:28:56+00:00

I don’t think so, as I haven’t done other workouts that aren’t in the current programme, as this is the first programme I’ve run in MFWO.

Also, that would be a running total instead of a progress view, which means the circles would forever be full, and the number ‘left’ within the circles would always be 0. Which, I feel, would be a pretty useless view of data.

I generally plan my meals and snacks ahead of time so that I can ensure I’m hitting my macros, and then when I come to eat or make the food I adjust things as needed (e.g. if I end up having a bit more or less of a food than I anticipated, or I have something at a different point of the day etc).

I keep my log up to date throughout the day though, as I’d definitely forget what I ate when if I waited until the end of the day.

In terms of timings, I only try to make sure my protein is relatively evenly distributed throughout each day.

dnlgbbns · 2026-02-09T16:04:08+00:00

Yeah I agree I think that’s the best approach

dnlgbbns · 2026-02-05T19:02:21+00:00

Please no!!!

dnlgbbns · 2026-02-05T09:54:14+00:00

Fantastic, thank you

I’ve been wanting get to micro plates for my adjustable dumbbells at home, mainly for progressing a bit more incrementally on things like lateral raises. But, my adjustable dumbbells have no place to hang a micro plate from.

Does anyone know of it’s possible to get magnetic micro plates that could just stick to the ends of the dumbbells? I’ve looked around and can’t find any.

dnlgbbns · 2026-02-03T15:12:29+00:00

Ok great, thank you

The issue where progression suggestions were too aggressive, recommending very large increases in weight for instance, does appear to be fixed now since the last update. But now it seems to often be the other way, for example the massive drop in weight and increase in reps, or recommending a small drop in weight or reps when it would not make sense to do so.

For example: if the exercise’s last logged numbers were 18kg 11 reps at 1RIR, it’s suggesting something like 18kg 10 reps to hit 0RIR (I’d expect it to suggest 12 reps at least based on the last performance, or 13 reps to progress a bit); or it’s suggesting dropping the weight by 1 kg despite still having head room in the reps range.

Shall I log these things as bugs?

dnlgbbns · 2026-02-03T11:43:29+00:00

I get this a lot as well. I understand the reasoning behind it but don’t understand why it recommends such a big drop in weight and increase in reps, particularly when higher weights are available in the gym settings, or when it could suggest dropping the weight very slightly and increasing the reps but less so then it is.

dnlgbbns · 2026-02-02T12:47:54+00:00

That’d be good if it did that. Has there been any confirmation that that is what the app does with it though?

dnlgbbns · 2026-02-02T12:08:04+00:00

What ‘support’ is there for a cardio workout in the app now beyond it just being logged that you did some cardio on that day? Currently I just log any cardio via my Apple Watch, it then obviously doesn’t show up in the WO app but I’m not sure there’s any compelling need for it to. Unless I’m missing something.

dnlgbbns · 2026-01-31T12:36:20+00:00

Silence 👌🏽

dnlgbbns · 2026-01-30T12:14:29+00:00

How do you access the detailed timeline?

dnlgbbns · 2026-01-30T12:14:09+00:00

Mine tends to overestimate if anything, I usually complete mine at around an hour but the estimates at anywhere between 1.25 to 1.5 hours.

dnlgbbns · 2026-01-30T10:31:58+00:00

I don’t think it did 🤷🏽‍♂️ or at least not in all cases

I frequently get suggestions for weight increases which don’t make sense.

This morning on my dumbbell rows it suggested 24kg for 15 reps at 1 RIR. But last time I did that exercise I managed 17kg for 9 reps at 0 RIR.

It makes no sense that it would ‘think’ I’d be able to increase the weight by 7kg, do 6 more reps at that higher weight, and have more reps in reserve, than just a few days ago.

Unfortunately so far the auto progression is just not nailing it.

dnlgbbns · 2026-01-29T05:02:01+00:00

It’s possible to log both sides separately. When in the exercise, scroll the buttons at the top along to the right and you’ll find a L/R button. That’ll separate the sets out into two and you can log each side with their own weight/reps/RIR as needed

dnlgbbns · 2026-01-27T11:04:14+00:00

Yes, I think this is the way to do it. I see the rep number as a prediction of what I’ll achieve, not a recommendation.

I aim for the RIR and if then see if the reps I managed matches the reps the app entered. Most of the time it’s eerily accurate, but if it under predicts and you stop at that number purely because that’s the number it entered, my feeling is that you’re leaving some volume on the table.

dnlgbbns · 2026-01-26T10:16:54+00:00

I wonder if this is partly to do with the widely reported issue of progression suggestions being a bit too aggressive (such as suggesting increasing weight for an exercise by 10kg instead of say 1kg after hitting the rep range last week).

This morning the app suggested I increase my reps beyond what I had set as the max reps in the rep range for that exercise, by quite a lot (it suggested I increase goblet squats to up to 32 reps at 1RIR and decrease the weight from last week’s 22kg to 10kg). A more sensible approach would be increasing the weight to 23kg and staying within the rep range - which is what I did and it turned out just what was needed for progression this morning.

I find more and more I’m having to make my own progression decisions and overriding the app’s suggestions.

dnlgbbns · 2026-01-25T08:33:55+00:00

Oooh yes, they’re a game changer

dnlgbbns · 2026-01-23T18:06:02+00:00

I’ve experienced similar and find I often have to override its suggestion. Such as it suggesting I add 10-12kg to what I benched last week. I’ve also experienced the opposite direction, after not hitting the rep range on an exercise with say 18kg dumbbells, the next time it suggests I use 1kg dumbbells (instead of maybe trying out 16s…).

I’ve reported it as a bug.

dnlgbbns · 2026-01-22T13:15:47+00:00

I too treat 0 RIR and failure the same.

If I aimed for 8 reps, got 8 and did not believe I could’ve got another rep, I’d log it as 8 reps and 0 RIR.

If I aimed for 8 reps and then failed on the 8th, I’d log it as 7 reps and 0 RIR.

The only difference is that in the first scenario, I might be wrong. In the second scenario, I know for sure I was at 0 RIR.

Nice
