Soreness for upper and lower body

When you add your data before a workout, having one soreness scale for upper and one soreness scale for lower body would be more accurate for the exercise prescription of the day.

    Can anyone explain how this is useful? Right now you shouldn’t get additional exercises assigned for still sore muscle groups in the on-season periods. Exercises rotate based partially on how recently you hit that muscle group. If you hit lats hard yesterday you won’t get them again today. So that leaves the main lifts and you can control those through your choice of a light or normal workout.

    That sounds like an issue that one of my suggestions would address - allow for exercises to have secondary muscle groups. If the app knew that good mornings also hit hamstrings it wouldn’t have given hamstrings curls the next day.

    If good mornings hit your hamstrings hard you should change the target muscle for that to hamstrings. That’s why the muscle group is editable. Then it’ll properly account for the stress you’re getting. You wouldn’t get hamstring curls the next day that way either.

    I live in Finland and we get literal tons of snow in the winter time. Sometimes my delts are trashed from plowing snow uphill for hours.

    Ok, good example. So external factors outside of recorded training stress in the app. You’d need a full body map where you could click on the shoulders to indicate specific soreness there.

    That’s the point why I asked, if cardio exercise on rest days could be integrated. Sometimes I do rowing sprints and my legs are just pudding afterwards and the CNS got to much blown away.

    Was thinking about this task in the context of alternative training splits. If you trained upper/lower using the app for instance, as it stands would you rate your soreness for upper day based on the push muscles for that day and in doing so potentially make the app think your legs were ok when really they could be trashed from prior day and subsequently throw off future training load allocation? Just a scenario this task might help with šŸ‘

    Terve Niko. Same for me. I’m also from Finland but live in Norway. HIIT days like these I choose a Freestyle workout and continue the AI next day.
