Backoff Sets You Can Trust Before the First Rep

Backoff planning should be explicit, not guessed mid-workout. untraind lets you define offsets from one base target and preview every resulting set load.

What this is

A backoff pattern system that applies planned load offsets from the same base target weight.

What this unlocks

Predictable set-to-set load progression, faster in-session decisions, and cleaner fatigue management.

Why and when to use it

Use it on volume or technical strength work after heavier top sets where precision load drops matter.

Backoff logic integrated into the editor

Backoff patterns are configured at block level with percent or absolute modes, then resolved into explicit per-set targets before execution starts.

Choose percent or absolute offsets.

Switch between % and kg/lb style adjustments based on your programming preference.

Use presets or custom patterns.

Start from volume, strength, aggressive, or progressive presets, then refine set-by-set offsets.

Preview resolved set targets before run.

See exact resulting weights per set so your execution matches the programmed fatigue strategy.

Backoff sets FAQ

Are offsets based on the previous set or one base target?

Backoff offsets are based on the same base target weight for consistency, not chained from the previous set.

Can I use backoff sets with tempo control?

Yes. Backoff and tempo settings can be combined on the same strength block.

Do I need to calculate each set manually?

No. untraind resolves and previews each set target in the editor before you run the workout.
