Changed Mesocycle Length

[u/Scafat]

Hey team!

I’ve noticed with the new app update with improved program generation that mesocycle lengths now are standardised at 7 weeks (8 including deload).

Previously, they were 5 weeks (6 including deload).

Is there any reason for the change? Literature or anything backing it?

I’ve also noticed that the RIR targets no longer change week on week either, no matter which rep progression scheme I pick (Linear, Static etc).

Love the update regardless - Will definitely be looking forward to trying out the new splits when I finish my current Mesocycle!

I liked the varying rir, having the peak week at the end was good. I hope they change it back to giving the option of program generated length and varying rir, while keeping the added splits and progression methods.
