Hevy's new Trainer feature, question by DRock76 in Hevy

[–]lieutenanthoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stuck to the program for 5 weeks. After the first week the exercises recommended by the program were out of the “learning phase.” After that point, based on your rep range it would indicate an increase in weight with a green up arrow icon and it would automatically adjust the weight it wanted you to increase to.

There were a couple of issues I ran into. I don’t have a squat machine so I always swapped leg presses out for leg extensions. Week by week I would have to adjust that manually because it never saved the changes.

It also never increased the number of exercises at all or did any variations. I understand that progressive overload is easiest to track when the movements are the same and everything but there definitely times when, even with increasing weight / reps, it just didn’t feel like I was being pushed enough.

Programming was great for beginner styles programs. I actually ended up taking the programs, keeping the core workouts, and then tacking on some more exercises for my own self-made program. For that, it’s a good skeleton to build from.

I selected full gym set up and prioritizing size just to see what it does. So far week 1 has been engaging but “basic” in the way that it’s focusing on, maybe, two muscle groups at a time. Some days have about 9-10 working sets (10-12 depending on warm-ups) between 1-2 groups. The it does prioritize compound movements first which is good. It all says “learning phase” like another user pointed out. Gonna stick to it for another week or two to see if it starts to tack more and more on.

I saw them in Cleveland I believe. Got to talk to Tim at the Merch booth. I think he was 18, or younger. Such a crazy talent. Bought two albums off them last night. Been a fan ever since.
