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
- Select the exercise in Build Workout.
- Tap Add Set.
- Select Warm-up Set or Working Set.
- 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
- Tap Reps.
- Select the planned rep count.
- Tap the load field, if the exercise offers one.
- Select the planned load.
- Tap Save Changes to open the save menu.
- 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
- Tap Rest Between Sets in the exercise's set list.
- 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
- Select the set you want to remove.
- Tap Save Changes.
- 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.
