Bulk Edit Your Workout Sets

Adjusting your workout sets for progressive overload or deload can be a very repetitive, very annoying experience.

We’ve recently introduced a new feature to Plates that lets you edit multiple workout sets at once to make this experience a little bit nicer.

Why Bulk Edit Your Workout Sets

Your routine may stay the same, but the numbers will forever change. You might be adding weight when you hit your rep target, reducing the weight for a deload, or switching over to higher reps. Whatever the case may be, changing all your sets shouldn’t require eight separate edits. It’s a small thing, but small things get old when you do them every workout.

How To Edit Multiple Workout Sets at Once

While in a workout in Plates, simply swipe right on a set. This will present the option to select that set and all above it, that set and all below it, or just that set. Then tap the edit button and configure the changes. You can increase/decrease each set by a set amount, or completely overwrite them all with a new value in one go.

For example, adding 5 kg to sets at 60, 65 and 70 kg changes them to 65, 70 and 75 kg. Setting their weight to 75 kg makes all three 75 kg.

It’s not just for weight. If you’re moving from sets of 8 to sets of 10, select them and set the reps to 10. Or add 2 reps to each selected set if you want to keep different rep targets.

Plates Bulk Edit in Action

Here is a short video where you can see how bulk edit works in action. In this demo, we add 5 kg to the working sets and 10 kg to the warmup sets.
