Managing Programs

Once you've created programs, here's how to manage them.

Active program​

You can have one active program at a time. This is the program that appears on your home screen and drives your mesocycle grid.

To activate a different program, open it and tap Set as Active.

Viewing a program​

Open any program to see:

  • Mesocycle grid — All weeks × workout days with completion status
  • Workout days — List of days with their exercises
  • Settings — Mesocycle length, progression mode, deload toggle, RIR settings

Editing a program​

You can edit a program at any time, even mid-mesocycle:

  • Add or remove exercises — New exercises start with your configured defaults
  • Change target sets or rep ranges — Takes effect from the next workout
  • Adjust progression settings — Weight increment, progression mode, min RIR
  • Add or remove workout days — Restructure your split
note

Editing a program doesn't change previously logged workouts. Changes apply to future sessions only.

Starting a new mesocycle​

When your current mesocycle is complete (all loading weeks + optional deload), you can start a new one. HyperIron offers to seed the new mesocycle from your performance data:

  • Weights carry forward based on your actual logged performance
  • Volume carries forward from your final auto-regulated set counts
  • Exercises carry over by default — you can swap variations at this point

This is also a good time to adjust mesocycle length, toggle deloads, or change progression modes based on what you learned from the last block.

Duplicating a program​

Create a copy of an existing program as a starting point for a new one. Useful when you want to keep the same split but change exercises or settings.

Deleting a program​

Delete a program you no longer need. Logged workout data associated with the program is preserved in your history — only the program template is removed.

Multiple programs​

You might have several programs saved for different goals:

  • A hypertrophy-focused PPL program
  • A strength-focused program for peaking
  • A maintenance program for deload periods or busy weeks

Switch between them by setting the one you want as active.
