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:
Start with templates to learn structure.
Modify templates to fit your needs.
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.
