Prescribe warm-up sets in the New Strength Builder
Strength training is a core element of my training strategy, so I am excited that TrainingPeaks is improving support for programming strength workouts. In addition to other requested features here, I would like to be able to prescribe the number of warm-up sets for a given exercise. This is distinct from the warm-up exercises that already exist.
In my training plan it is important to distinguish that although only 1-2 sets may be "working" sets, there are also several warm-up sets performed at significantly lower weight and reps. From a UX perspective, it is challenging to communicate this when there is no way to distinguish working sets from warm up sets.
Additional distinctions for failed and drop sets may be helpful for more advanced strength training. The "Strong" app on iOS and Android is a great example of how this can be implemented in a user-friendly interface.
