overview

The Exercise History widget displays every equivalent set of an exercise ever performed. Selecting a set in the exercise history displays the entire workout that set was a part of.

exercise history widget

The Exercise History widget displays all past performances for the same set of the exercise selected. For example, if you have selected Set 3 of Bench Press, the Exercise History widget will display all of the previous Set 3’s of Bench Press.Recomposer Exercise History FormThe first record displayed in the form is the best ever performance of the selected set of the exercise. Note, it is not necessarily the best ever performance overall (ie the PB). It is the best ever performance for that particular set.

The next section displays the relevant performance(s) from the previous workout, because it is presumed this will be the most relevant performance to try to outperform in the current workout. More detail below.

The third section contains every past performance of the set, in reverse chronological order. If there are more than 5 records, pressing on ‘more’ will display the full list.

Tap or click on any record in the Exercise History to view the entire workout that the set belongs to

previous workout history

The ‘previous workout’ section displays the set from the most recent workout, if one exists. For example, in an exercise’s Set 3 history, the first ‘previous workout’ record will be for Set 3 from the previous workout. If there was no Set 3 recorded in the previous workout, the ‘previous workout’ will say ‘no set 3 completed’.

There maybe an additional record in the previous workout section if the previous workout did not reflect a normal fatigue pattern. In this case, Recomposer will display the most relevant set based on how it ranked, from best to worst, in the previous workout.

For example, if the best set on the previous workout was Set 3, then in the history for Set 1, Recomposer will display Set 3 as the ‘best’ set to try to beat.

It is expected that the lifter will achieve their best possible performance on their first set of an exercise, when they have maximum energy. Performance of each subsequent set should decline, if each set is truly a reflection of the lifters maximum capability at that time. So the first set should be the best; 2nd set, 2nd best, 3rd set, 3rd best etc. However, it will depend on the program creator’s intent whether this is true for their program.
