Adjust a program: swap lifts, reorder, or start one from a photo
Your gym has no free bench, or a lift bothers your shoulder. Change your program in a few taps and keep the sets and reps you planned.

Swap a lift
Tap Swap next to the lift. The list opens on lifts like it, under Similar to and the lift's name, so a dumbbell or machine version is one tap away. Or search for any exercise.
The new lift takes the same place and keeps the sets, reps, rest and note. Weights written for the old lift are cleared, since they wouldn't fit the new one.
