Programs & sessions

Build a session

Add exercises, set prescriptions, and choose what athletes track.

  1. Open a session from the program calendar.
  2. Click Add Exercise. Search the library (each exercise shows whether it comes from PeakPlan or is one of your custom ones), select one or more, and add them.
  3. For each exercise, set the number of sets and the prescription for each set.

What you can prescribe

Each exercise has a primary metric (reps, time or distance) and optional tracking parameters. Turn on the ones you want for this exercise:

  • Load: weight for each set.
  • RPE: effort on a 1–10 scale.
  • Tempo: speed of each rep, for example 3-0-1-0.
  • Height: box or platform height.
  • Watts: power output.

You can prescribe a single value or a range, for example 8–10 reps or RPE 7–8.

Percentage-based load

Switch the load to a percentage and PeakPlan works out the weight from the athlete’s 1RM or e1RM for that exercise. See How 1RM and e1RM are calculated.

Instructions, supersets and order

  • Add Instructions: coaching cues the athlete sees with the exercise.
  • Add superset: group an exercise with the one next to it.
  • Move up and Move down: change the exercise order.
  • Reset or Remove: from the exercise menu.
