1. Assigning set labels

  1. Hover over Set Number: For the exercise set, hover over the desired set number.

Set Labels Explained:

  • Regular Set: Standard set with the prescribed weight and repetitions.
  • Warm-up Set: Lighter set performed before the working sets to prepare muscles and joints for heavier loads.
  • Dropset: A technique where the weight is reduced immediately after reaching muscle failure, allowing for additional repetitions.
  • Failure Set: A set performed until the muscle reaches failure, indicating the inability to complete any more repetitions with proper form.

By incorporating these set labels into your workouts, you can effectively manage intensity levels, tailor workouts to individual needs, and optimize training outcomes.
