Deload Feature #88

Hi, love the app, I was thinking it would be cool if there was an option to deload (on how to deload: https://www.reddit.com/r/nSuns/comments/ao9t7z/a_post_about_deload_weeks_how_to_do_them_when_to/) an entire week and then comeback to normal. Maybe when you swipe left to delete logged workout you might add swipe right to deload the whole week.

Good idea. Since there are many ways how to to deload (look e.g. here https://www.reddit.com/r/nSuns/comments/bznngf/how_to_deload/) what do you think would be best or used most often?

Lowering intensity is the easiest by keeping the template as is and just lowering the percentages by a certain amount which could also be user-configured.
Lowering volume is harder because how would you select which sets to remove? Probably the last sets of each day?

As you said the easiest way would be just lowering the % of all lifts.

Drop the intesity of all lifts by 50% as a default value, if a lifter for whatever reason don't want to cut by 50% let them put any other input they want to.

Lowering volume would be indeed a bit trickier. Or you can do a combination of both.

Here's a good article about deload from Mike. It's basically what you mentioned above

Another great feedback from a user: Deloading should not affect the graphs (or it should be marked as deloaded in the graph) otherwise progress chart will look skewed
