Zyra Workouts is in development and not yet on the App Store; screens may change before release.
Zyra Workouts has five set types, and each one changes what the row looks like, what the app counts, and — for drop and myo sets — how many rows one "set" occupies. This guide is about logging them; what the techniques are for is covered in set types explained.
What it does
The set number in the leftmost column is a button. Tapping it opens the set-type sheet, a radio list with one line of description each. The badge letter then replaces the set number in the table.
| Type | Badge | Sheet description (verbatim) | Counts toward volume | Counts for Smart Progression |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | (set number) | Fixed weight, target rep range | Yes | Yes |
| Warm-Up | W | Lighter prep set, excluded from volume | No | No |
| Drop | D | Heavy set, then reduce weight and continue | Yes (parent and sub-entries) | Yes |
| Myo | M | Same weight, short intra-set rests | Yes (parent and sub-entries) | Yes |
| Failure | F | Taken to technical failure (RIR 0) | Yes | Yes |
"Counts for Smart Progression" means the set is part of the last working sets the engine reads when it prefills your next session (see the wand colours). Warm-ups are filtered out there, in the weekly volume on the dashboard, and in the Levels tab.
Step by step
Warm-ups. Tap the Warm Up chip in the action row. A W row is inserted at the top of the exercise, after any warm-ups already present, so the working sets keep their numbering below. Log it like any set. Once every warm-up of an exercise is ticked, the table folds them into a single line — "2 warm-ups · done" — with a chevron to expand. The warm-up set builder gives you the loads if you want a ramp to plan from.
Drop sets. Tap the set number → Drop → the sheet grows a button, Add drop entry. Each tap adds a sub-row under the parent, indented, carrying the parent's weight and side. Log the heavy parent, then tap the sub-row's weight and type the lighter load, log it, and repeat. The sub-rows are numbered internally as drop 1, drop 2 and so on.
Myo sets. Same flow with Myo and Add myo entry. Because myo-reps keep the weight constant, the copied weight is usually right and only the reps need typing per entry.
Failure sets. Choose Failure. The row shows F and its effort is set to RIR 0 — the reps keypad's chips are not needed. Turning a set back to Standard keeps the reps and weight.
Changing type after ticking. The sheet opens on ticked rows too. Switching a ticked row to Warm-Up clears its RIR and takes it out of volume; switching to Failure writes RIR 0.
In plain terms: the set number is the type button; W is free prep work, D and M are one set spread over several rows, F is RIR 0 by definition.
What the numbers mean
- Volume on the session summary is
weight × full repsover every non-warm-up row, including drop and myo sub-entries. A 100 kg × 8 parent with sub-entries of 80 × 6 and 60 × 8 contributes800 + 480 + 480 = 1,760. - The "Set N of M" header counts rows, so a drop set with two sub-entries is three rows out of M.
- PRs are evaluated per row, using each row's own weight and full reps.
Gotchas
- An empty drop parent is downgraded. If you choose Drop or Myo but never tick a sub-entry, "Complete Workout" saves the parent as a Standard set. The sub-entries keep their type when they exist.
- Warm-ups never start the rest timer — ticking one does nothing to the countdown, by design.
- The W chip adds to the active exercise only. Each exercise gets its own warm-ups; there is no automatic warm-up scheme yet.
- Set numbers skip badges. Rows with a badge show the letter instead of a number, so a table can read W, W, 3, 4 — the numbering is positional, not "working set number".
- Failure sets and the RIR chips. You can still open the reps keypad and pick a chip on an F row; the last action wins. Keep F rows at 0R or change the type.
The short version
Tap the set number to pick Standard, Warm-Up, Drop, Myo or Failure; the badge W, D, M or F replaces the number. Warm-ups come from the Warm Up chip and are excluded from volume, progression and Levels. Drop and myo sets are a parent plus "Add … entry" sub-rows, all counted. Failure means RIR 0. Zyra Workouts is a training log, and this page describes one of its features as built today. Educational overview only — not medical advice.
