Programs, workouts and Saved Workouts

Programs

A program is a multi-week plan. It sets which days you lift, which exercises run on each day, and how the weights move from week to week. 5/3/1 Strength and Push Pull Legs are programs, and so is anything you build or import yourself.

Grain Gym keeps track of your week and day. The cursor moves forward when you finish a workout, and the targets for the next one come from the program's rule. Your programs live in Library, under Programs.

Workouts

A workout is a single session. When you start a program day, Grain Gym builds that day's workout from the plan, with its exercises, sets and targets. When you finish, the workout goes into your history.

Saved Workouts

A Saved Workout is a session you want to run again without a program around it. It isn't tied to a week or a day, so you can start it whenever you like.

Make one in Library under Saved Workouts, import it from JSON, or save a finished workout with Save as Saved Workout in its menu, or Save as workout on the summary screen.

Which to use

Use a program when you want a plan to run for weeks. Use a Saved Workout for the session you repeat, such as a travel day or a garage finisher. Library vs Explore shows where each one lives.
