What this is
A ladder and pyramid execution flow with configurable rung schemes and per-step progression cues.
Ladder timer workflow
Ladder Timer for Structured Rep Progressions
Ladder sessions break when rung math and transitions live in your head. untraind runs each rung as an explicit execution step with clear progression context.
What this unlocks
Consistent rung tracking, optional time-cap constraints, and rapid logging while moving through the ladder.
Why and when to use it
Use it for benchmark progressions like 21-15-9 or custom up/down ladders when rep structure accuracy matters.
Ladder execution without manual tracking
Instead of mental math between rounds, untraind executes each rung with explicit step context, next-rung cues, and optional race constraints when ladders are run for time.
Rung schemes are configurable in the editor.
Use presets like 21-15-9, ascending patterns, or fully custom ladders with explicit rung values.
Progression context stays visible in the run.
Each step shows where you are in the ladder and what comes next, so transitions stay clean under fatigue.
Works with broader session programming.
Ladder blocks can coexist with EMOM, AMRAP, For Time, and strength details like tempo or backoff targets.
Ladder timer FAQ
Is this limited to 21-15-9 workouts?
No. You can run predefined schemes and custom ladder or pyramid patterns based on your session goal.
Can ladder blocks use a time cap?
Yes. Ladder blocks support optional time caps when you want race-style constraints.
Can I combine ladder work with other formats?
Yes. Ladder blocks can be mixed with EMOM, AMRAP, HIIT intervals, and For Time segments in one template.
