The Train Workout Builder allows you the freedom to create any type of workout you might want. This allows for the freedom to program different styles of training from HIIT to Olympic Lifting. For more information on how to build workouts check out the help article: Train | How to add a workout.
Having flexibility in the system gives you a couple of options for structuring the basics of supersets into your programming. You can program these by either creating separate entries for each exercise or combining the superset into one entry. Check out the video and steps below!
Overview Video
The main difference is in how the results will be logged in the Train database. When you make separate entries you can be more detailed in your prescription and more accurate in the data collected.
Keep in mind that there are four fields in our Workout Builder where you can add free form information for your athletes:
Title
Subtitle
Workout Description*
Gym Notes
You can organize the information in these to suit your needs.
*The text in the Workout Description field will be what Train uses to auto-tag exercises from your library. You can always manually add or delete Tags as well.
