A plan can record more than sets and reps. You’ll come across three terms, and each of them steers something different.
Superset. Two or more exercises you do straight after each other, with no break in between. You only rest after the last one. Coaches use them to save time or to put extra load on a muscle. In your plan they’re linked; the app guides you through them in the right order and only starts the rest timer at the end.
RPE. Short for rate of perceived exertion: how hard a set felt, on a scale from 1 to 10. An RPE of 8 roughly means you had two more reps left in you.
Tempo. How fast you do a rep, in four numbers: lowering, pause, lifting, pause. Lowering is letting the weight return under control (in a squat, going down; in a lat pulldown, letting the bar come back up), lifting is the hard part. A tempo of 3-1-1-0 means three counts lowering, one count pause, one count lifting, no pause. An X means explosive.
Time under tension (TUT). The tempo times your reps: how long the muscle is under tension per set. At 3-1-1-0 and 12 reps that’s about 60 seconds. The set card shows it.
No tempo in your plan? Then there’s a guide tempo of 2-0-1-0: two counts lowering, one count lifting. That’s controlled without pauses, and the card mentions that it doesn’t come from your coach.
Counting along. Tap Count along and the app goes through the phases for you, with a tick at every change. You don’t have to count or look at the screen. Tap Stop and the number of full reps is ready in the field.
