Configure strength sets

Warm-up and working sets do different jobs. Open an exercise in Build Workout to add each kind, adjust a single set or all sets with the same role, and choose rest between sets. You can keep a gradual warm-up separate from a consistent working prescription.

Start with an exercise

Use Momentum on an iPhone or iPad. Start with a strength workout draft that already contains an exercise. This guide changes planned sets before you train; it does not record performed sets.

Give each set its job

Add the sets you need

  1. Select the exercise in Build Workout.
  2. Tap Add Set.
  3. Select Warm-up Set or Working Set.
  4. Select the new set to open Set.

A new set starts with values copied from an existing set. Check those values before saving, especially when adding the first warm-up set: Momentum does not automatically choose a lighter load.

Change one set or a whole role

  1. Tap Reps.
  2. Select the planned rep count.
  3. Tap the load field, if the exercise offers one.
  4. Select the planned load.
  5. Tap Save Changes to open the save menu.
  6. Select the scope you want:
    • Save This Set changes only the open set.
    • Apply to All Warm-up Sets copies this prescription to every warm-up set in this exercise.
    • Apply to All Working Sets copies this prescription to every working set in this exercise.

The role-wide choice appears only when that role has more than one set. It copies the whole prescription, not just the field you changed.

Read the exercise's load description before selecting a value. Total load means one combined load; Load per implement means the load for each implement; Weight stack means the machine or cable stack value. A bodyweight exercise can instead show Added load or Assistance.

To leave the set unchanged before choosing a save scope, tap Cancel Editing.

Choose rest for this exercise

  1. Tap Rest Between Sets in the exercise's set list.
  2. Select the rest duration.

That rest duration applies between this exercise's sets. Configure another exercise separately if it needs different rest.

Remove an extra set

  1. Select the set you want to remove.
  2. Tap Save Changes.
  3. Select Delete Set.

Delete Set appears only when the exercise has another set. You cannot remove its last remaining set.

Check the set list

The draft now shows the warm-up and working sets you configured, with rest for this exercise. Review both roles before returning to the workout.

Saving a set updates the draft. It does not start training or confirm a schedule. If the enclosing builder offers Review Workout, that action returns the draft to the surrounding review so you can finish that task.

Keep the changes where you intend

Applying a prescription to all working sets leaves warm-up sets and other exercises unchanged. Applying it to all warm-up sets leaves working sets unchanged.

If you applied the wrong values, reopen the affected draft sets and enter the values you want. If you removed a set, use Add Set to create a replacement, then check its copied values.

The workout duration is an estimate based on its sets and rest, not a measured training time. These planned values remain separate from what you later record.
