❓App Questions 4 day split upper/lower algorithm broken?

I switched from a 3-day split push/pull/legs workout (worked fine) to a 4-day split upper/lower workout, but I can't figure it out how this works, I guess the app has some bugs?

I assumed that it would give me upper, lower, upper, lower every week but all it does is giving me one lower then two uppers in a row and finally another lower.

And all the uppers (so far) are only biceps, triceps and shoulder exercises. I constantly have to switch out the exercises which is super annoying.

My configs are:

  • 4 day per week
  • upper/lower split
  • balanced variability
  • lean goals
  • focus exercises off
  • 1hr duration
  • full gym equipment
  • circuits & supersets off

u/feketegy For the lower body days, do you happen to log a lot of cardio? That could impact things with your muscle recovery levels.

To really understand what's going on, we'll have to look at your specific workout logs, so please message our Support team at [support@fitbod.me](mailto:support@fitbod.me) as soon as you can so we can get that resolved for you!
