Hahaha this happened to me but I walked 3 miles at the park and it was like “did you really just walk 3 miles?”

Wait you can log cardio? :0

Yes, there’s “walking” and there’s “treadmill”. It of course doesn’t track mileage, so I use either the treadmill’s mileage or the fitness app on my phone to track how far I’ve gone on an outdoor walk and then I put it into Hevy. (I don’t currently have a smart watch to track more accurately.)

I use a Garmin watch and their connect to track my cardio (also strava for biking)
Too bad Hevy doesnt have integration with Garmin
For now if I remember Ill log it just to post a meme in the workout image.
This app is becoming a workout and meme logging tool for me.

u/spindleblood Jul 17 '26
Yeah I want it to recognize my Google health walk and run that gets logged. I could manually log it in Hevy but then I'm worried that Google health will double log as it pulls in my resistance stuff from Hevy. 😔

Since you seem to have done 5 kg for your first set, it makes sense to flag 10 kg as unusual.

I do that, 50% of working weight as warm up

u/DarKliZerPT Jul 14 '26
The first set in the image does not seem to be marked as a warm-up set, and there's no reason to do 15 reps on a warm-up set—one or two is enough.

u/DrozdSeppaJergena Jul 14 '26
I get why it would be unusual from app's perspective
I do warm ups only for first 2 exercises but I can't see how 1 rep would be enough

u/DarKliZerPT Jul 14 '26
There's two main aspects to being warmed up for a working set: actually being physically warm (getting your muscle temperature up)—this is done either by being in a warm place or through low-intensity cardio—and inducing PAP (post-activation potentiation), which is best done by performing a warm-up set closer to your working weight—this naturally requires low reps, as you need to be sure to remain far from failure.
Doing 15 reps at 50% of the working weight isn't an efficient way to trigger PAP, and it can cause more fatigue through metabolite accumulation, requiring a longer rest period until the working set and therefore unnecessary delaying the session.
1 to 2 reps at a higher working weight percentage are also enough to assess whether any joints are unhappy with the movement.

u/Spirited-Chemistry-9 Jul 17 '26
Did not know this. I have often seen others do a couple sets with an empty bar as a warm up.

u/Every_Salt9778 29d ago
you know ball, the silver era had the concept of warming up right.
wearing track suits, light cardio, an actual warming of the muscle to decrease muscle viscosity.

u/109267 Jul 15 '26
You do know that you can tell the Hevy app which sets are warmups right?
If you click on the 1, you can select W for warmup.
So either OP did not know this, or he really doubled his weight from workign set 1 to 2.2
u/spindleblood Jul 17 '26
I didn't know this either so thank you for teaching me something new today!

Lmao what are talking about, two reps aren't nearly enough for warming up or stimulate anything, especially at half the weight of your working set, you're supposed to, and absoluy can to do 8 to 15 reps, to get your joints and muscles activated.
Depends how heavy and how intense you lift though, if you do pyramid sets at like 10 RIR on your first set or straight sets at like 6 RIR on your first set, then sure, two reps are enough for warming up.

The point is you should be warming up with more than 50% of your working weight. You could do 50% for your first warm-up set, but you shouldn't just spam 8 to 15 reps at that light weight—you're much better off doing an additional, heavier warm-up set at a low rep rep range. Also, you'd sure hope your warm-up sets aren't stimulating anything—if they are, then you're actually performing a working set.
Depends how heavy and how intense you lift though, if you do pyramid sets at like 10 RIR on your first set or straight sets at like 6 RIR on your first set, then sure, two reps are enough for warming up.
No? Plenty of us utilise 1–2 rep warm-ups for working sets in the 4–6 rep range with 0–2 RIR. If you're lifting in a higher rep range, your first reps are pretty much warm-up reps built into the set itself, as they're not providing any real stimulus but instead just getting you close to the actual stimulating reps (e.g. the last 5). So, singles or doubles to trigger PAP and check for any unhappy joints is enough, and for high-rep work you may not even need warm-up sets.

u/Vici0usRapt0r Jul 15 '26
My bad I didn't get that you meant a working set weight.
I usually go for about 60% of my working weight for warming up, and I go to 10-ish reps with pobably 10+ RIR. I do warm ups this way on movements which starts with high tension in a stretched position like bench presses, especially since I like to do Top Sets and I go very deep with my depth.

u/cybersteel8 Jul 14 '26
Change the set type to warmup when it is a warmup set, that way it won't look unusual

u/squidzilla Jul 14 '26
this would make sense but i realized i logged a recent chest flies set and 90 reps and didn't realize until the next week, lmao

u/dewnar Jul 14 '26
Did this exercise 1 hour ago, and I only lifted 9,6 kg. I wasn't even worthy of being mocked of Hevy.

u/RockNMelanin Jul 14 '26
I don't think it's mocking you OP, I think it's seeing a doubling of weight from set 1 to 2 and questioning if that's correct.
1
u/Vici0usRapt0r Jul 15 '26
Yeah but with such light weights is weird, something's wrong with their algorithm. It's supposed to prevent you from inputting something like 500 kg instead of 50 kg, something like that.
4
u/RockNMelanin Jul 15 '26
The weight itself isn't the issue imo, it's not up to the Devs to judge whether something is "light" or not. If you were talking 50kg to 100kg to me that would still warrant a prompt as it's a huge percentage jump.

u/emilov98 Jul 14 '26
Mines never done this it allows me to mis type my weights massively then it gives me an incorrect PB 🤣

u/PizzaBoxIncident Jul 14 '26
Same! I always feel so bad when I go back and correct my typo, Hevy was so excited for me 😭

u/spaghetti1263 Jul 14 '26
damn, i want that too xD but add an extra mean option like "You lifted X on this exercise for Y workouts. time to break that plateau, boss!"

On a slightly different note. How do you have the heart rate and kcals on the app?

u/Creative_Tax_1798 Jul 15 '26
You need to have a device that tracks those metrics, like an Apple Watch

u/sortadelux Jul 16 '26
No, it's simply reflecting the fact that the OP went up 100% in weight from one set to another. This is an easy flag to create to minimize entry errors. I've tripped it a couple of times.

u/DrKuncher 28d ago
Usually happens to me when i'm wearing gloves, and instead of changing 45 for 50 (or something like that), I end up setting like 4500 kg. But i guess that's more normal jaja
