What is the difference between a "custom" Stack and a Stack "template?"

Understanding when to use templates versus creating custom Stacks helps you get the most from the feature.

Use templates when:

  • You're new to structured training

  • You want expert-designed workouts

  • You need inspiration for routine design

  • You're trying a new training style

  • You want proven, tested sequences

Create custom Stacks when:

  • You have specific goals or limitations

  • You prefer certain exercises over others

  • You're following a personalized program

  • You have unique equipment availability

  • You want exact control over progression

Best approach:

  1. Start with templates to learn structure.

  2. Modify templates to fit your needs.

  3. Eventually, create fully custom stacks.

Hybrid strategy: Use templates for new training styles, but customize the presets (weight, reps, sets) to match your current fitness level.
