How to Run Asynchronous Training (Alternating Weeks) in StrengthLab360
Overview:
Some bodybuilding programs alternate training content weekly (e.g., Pull A in Week 1, Pull B in Week 2). Although the app doesn’t currently support alternating weeks natively, there is a smart workaround that gives you control while maintaining progression accuracy.
Solution:
Use the "dual-exercise" method by including both versions of the exercise in one training day.
Steps:
-
Add both exercises (e.g., Lat Pulldown and Seated Row) to the same training session.
-
In Week 1, log only Lat Pulldown.
-
In Week 2, log only Seated Row.
-
Do not log the unused exercise — the system will only progress the logged ones.
Scenario Example:
Your program calls for Pull Day A to target lats with Lat Pulldown in Week 1, and Pull Day B to hit mid-back with Seated Row in Week 2. You can add both exercises to your Pull session. Log Lat Pulldown in Week 1, skip Seated Row. In Week 2, switch: log Seated Row, skip Lat Pulldown. The app’s algorithm will adjust each exercise’s progression independently.
Note: Unlogged exercises remain static and don’t interfere with progression.
