Why does my mesocycle always starts on Monday?
You’re ready to kick off your new mesocycle, but the app shows it starting on Monday—even though your typical training week begins on another day? You might be wondering:
"Is there a way to start my plan today?"
The Short Answer
Yes, you can absolutely start your training plan today—even if it's not a Monday.
While mesocycles are scheduled to begin on Mondays due to global time zone standardization, you’re free to begin training on any day that fits your personal routine.
Why Does the App Default to Mondays?
Because StrengthLab360 supports athletes in multiple time zones, all mesocycles are anchored to Mondays as a consistent starting point behind the scenes.
This ensures accuracy in data tracking and consistency across programming and analytics.
But here’s the good news:
You can start your first training session on any day of the week.
How to Start Training Today (Even If It's Sunday or Wednesday)
Even if the app shows a Monday start date, your Day 1 workout will be ready and you can begin immediately. For example:
-
Want to start on Sunday? Just begin with Day 1 in your plan.
-
Start on a Wednesday? No problem—Day 1 will still guide you.
-
Training days will continue to progress from whichever day you begin.
Your personal workout flow isn’t restricted by the Monday anchor—it’s simply how the plan is structured technically.
What Happens After That?
The app dynamically tracks your training days as you complete them. That means:
-
You don’t have to follow a strict Monday-to-Sunday schedule.
-
Your performance data and recovery tracking still function perfectly.
-
You can adjust your training days to fit your weekly rhythm—just aim to complete the prescribed number of sessions per week.
