A rest timer that fits the set you just did
A lifter finishes a set of twenty-second planks and the app tells them to rest for three minutes. Later, after a heavy squat that took everything they had, the same app gives them a minute and a half. Both rests came from one fixed timer that didn't know what had just happened, and the lifter ended up ignoring it.
It starts with the exercise
Big lifts need more recovery than small ones. Every rest in Yield starts from a standard length for the kind of exercise you just finished.
Then it adjusts for how the set felt
After each set, the app asks how many more reps you had in the tank. Your answer moves the rest up or down.
An easy set means the weight isn't taxing you yet, so there's no reason to wait long. A missed set gets the longest rest, because that's when you need it most.
If you answer after the timer has started, it adjusts on the spot.
You can always change it
The rest timer shows the reason for each rest, such as "heavy lift" or "easy set". Tap it to make rests shorter or longer for the rest of your workout, or ask your coach to do it. The coach can see your timer, so what it tells you and what the timer shows stay the same. You can end any rest early.
