Introducing Prilepin Workouts

 

Prilepin charts help in structuring how many sets and reps (or how much time to hold) to do a certain exercise, based on intensity or level of effort.

As I was trying this method on Crow Pose, I noticed a few times I went back to find the table to manually look up what my hold times should look like. It's not easy (at least for me) to memorize a table, so I ended up building that capability into the app.

There’s now a section in the Workouts tab that lets you add exercises you want to do in Prilepin mode. When you open an exercise in Prilepin mode, you are asked to do a “Max Effort” on it. Once you do that, a workout will be generated for you, focused on the specific exercise, so you can keep getting challenged to grow your strength without injury or tiring too quickly.

Hope you find this useful and Enjoy!
