When life gets in the way.

The block

Uneven training time, handled without punishment.

This lifter trained three days per week, but some weeks had fewer completed sets. Calyber used the work actually logged to update the next prescription instead of forcing catch-up volume.

Adjustments

What the engine changed, and why.

3 engine moments shaped this block. Open any trace to read the engine's own reasoning, verbatim.

1. Week 2 · ChestVolume held6 → 6 sets (0/week)

   The raw feedback pointed toward a volume change, but the engine's priority and recovery rules held the target steady for this muscle.

   Good stimulus (net=1.0) -> +1 set | Slow-recovery muscle held steady unless under-stimulated [priority=GROW, recovery=SLOW, muscle=Chest]

   Why the volume held→
2. Week 2 · BicepsVolume raised6 → 7 sets (+1/week)

   Biceps recovered well and the sets were productive, so the engine added volume for the next week, bounded by the maximum recoverable volume.

3. Week 6 · All musclesDeload

   The final week is a planned deload. Volume and load drop so accumulated fatigue clears before the next block.

   ▸Engine trace

   Scheduled deload: target RIR 8, loads capped near 50 percent of peak estimated 1RM.
