Train what
you need
today.

SetPath no longer blocks a gym day with a forced rest screen. Open it when you are training, override the suggested focus, and get a session with no duplicate movement patterns.

Choose Hypertrophy for stable exercises and muscle-focused rep ranges, or Strength for specific lift practice and lower rep ranges. Every mode keeps one clear job per movement slot.

Stop a set if technique changes or something feels wrong. This is not medical advice.

What the new algorithm does

Less overlap. More useful work.

01

Completion-based rotation

Push, pull, and legs advance after a logged workout—not after midnight. Rest happens when you are away.

02

Movement-family guardrails

Squat and leg press share one knee-dominant slot. Pull-ups and pulldowns share one vertical-pull slot. The generator chooses one.

03

Goal-specific selection

Hypertrophy favors stable machine, cable, and supported options. Strength can prioritize squat, bench, deadlift, and other specific lift practice.

04

Fatigue-aware dose

Energy changes sets and reps-in-reserve. A low day trims work; it does not lock you out of training.

Evidence-aware, not absolute

The big three are optional—not “bad.”

Squats, bench presses, and deadlifts can build muscle. SetPath simply does not default to them in Hypertrophy mode when a more stable exercise can train the target with less skill or fatigue cost. Machines and free weights can both work; effort, recoverable volume, and progression matter.
