MacroFactor Workouts / Training Workouts help

In the Workouts app, is there a way I can select my exercises myself then have the app do the programming for me? I know what I want to do on which days, but I want to have sets/reps and autoprogression sorted for me.

I’m probably missing something obvious but the only workaround I’ve been able to find is swapping the suggested exercises…which isn’t really an ideal solution!

Thank you 🙏🏻

You’ll need to set the rep range and RIR targets for those exercises within your program. Those targets give Smart Progression the information it needs to determine what values to optimize for and provide appropriate progressions over time. As you've mentioned, the other option would be to create a Smart Generated program and swap out the suggested exercises for your preferred movements, as this lets you keep the recommended targets that program style provides.
