How to Use SUUPR Recovery and Progress Hints
How to read SUUPR's recovery and progression hints without overthinking your workout.
Use recovery hints to choose what to train and progress hints to choose what to attempt. The point is not to obey blindly; it is to start from better information.
The rules that matter
- Recovery hints tell you where fatigue may still be sitting.
- Progress hints turn past performance into a realistic next target.
- A hint should be adjusted if warmups or life stress clearly disagree.
- The best use is decision support: push, hold, or back off.
What changes by goal
PushUse the hint when warmups feel good and recent performance supports it.
HoldRepeat the target when progress is close but not certain.
Back offReduce stress when readiness and performance are not there.
Common mistakes
- Ignoring recovery hints because motivation is high.
- Treating a progress hint as a mandatory command.
- Only logging wins, which makes future hints less useful.
How SUUPR handles it
SUUPR works best when you log honestly. Good data makes recovery and progression hints sharper, which makes the next workout less guessy.
