Logging Joint Pain
Tell the app when a lift hurts a joint. If you have a coach, they also see it.
Step By Step
- In your workout, use the Joint Pain tick box at the right of the exercise's reps line.
- Pick how bad it was: None, Mild, Moderate or Severe.
- The app adjusts next week for that exercise. If you have a coach, they get a pain report to review.
Good To Know
- Only use it if a joint (not a muscle) actually hurt. No pain? Leave it alone.
- Pain has its own icon and label, so it stands out.
How It Works
Mild changes nothing but is noted in History so you can spot a pattern. Moderate keeps next week's weight, reps and sets the same instead of progressing; Moderate or worse two weeks running suggests a swap. Severe drops one set, lowers the weight and offers a swap straight away. It only affects that exercise and is switched off in deload weeks.
Common Questions
Should I keep training through pain?
Pain that's sharp, swollen or lingers is worth getting checked by a professional.
Does it change other exercises?
No. Only the exercise you logged it on.
