Progression
When your second set beats your first
A later set beating your first is a warm-up problem, not a good day. What the flag means, and why the better number becomes your baseline for good.
Training methodology, written down
Writing on how WhyRep decides what it decides. Each post is taken from a methodology document that was signed off before any of it reached the app, and each one names the part of that document a rule came from.
The point is that you can check the app against them. If a verdict looks wrong, the rule it used is written down here. Where something is settled on paper but not yet in the app, the post says so rather than implying otherwise.

Progression
What counts as a reason your lift went down
A bad session invites a hundred explanations. The app is allowed to name ten, only when your log shows them, and it says nothing at all when none apply.

Volume
How many sets per muscle per week
Four to ten, why the ceiling is the one rule with no exceptions, and why the number that gets judged is the one you actually trained rather than the one your program says.

Recovery
Why WhyRep will never tell you to deload
A deload fixes a week. It does not fix the program that made the week necessary. What the app does instead when the evidence says you are not recovering.

Progression
What counts as progressive overload
How to tell whether a session actually progressed, what to do when the weight cannot go up, and why adding a rep does not always count.

Plateaus
How many stalled sessions actually counts as a plateau
The exact consecutive-miss counts, by experience level and muscle size, plus what does and does not count as a stalled session.
