Shoulder day, end of the session. You did lateral raises straight into front raises straight into rear delts — no rest between any of them, then a breath, then around again. Three rounds of the triset. Nine logged movements, but only one cluster.

What the agent needs to hear

Behind your sentence, the agent works backwards to four pieces: the three (or more) exercises in the sequence, the order they ran in, reps and weight per exercise per round, and how many rounds you did. The active session and the routine narrow it down — if your day had the triset planned, naming the exercises is enough. If you went off-script, the agent attaches the cluster to all the exercises in your session and creates entries for any that weren’t already queued.

The agent shows you a card with the sequence at the top — left-to-right in the order you trained them — and each round listed below with reps and weight per column. Three columns or more, N rows. Confirm and every exercise gets the rounds attached at once.

Order, reps, and rounds

Order matters. The first exercise you say ran first; the last ran last. If you reversed the order on a future round (« switched rear and front delts for the third round »), say so — the cluster’s shape allows per-round reordering, and the agent will reflect it on the card.

By default, the agent assumes the same reps and weight across all rounds and exercises. « 12 reps at 8 kg each, three rounds » fills the whole grid. If anything changed — second round dropped to 10 reps on the lateral because you fried out — call the cell: « second round, lateral was 10, not 12 ». The agent adjusts that one row and leaves the rest alone.

What the giant set preserves

A giant set is one cluster of three or more exercises, logged as N rounds. The shape carries a stronger density signal than a superset — three exercises back-to-back with no rest between any of them is denser still than two, and the cumulative fatigue across the round is what the system reads from the cluster.

PR detection still works per exercise — the heaviest round on each exercise still counts. What the cluster adds is the back-to-back-to-back fatigue signal, which changes how the later rounds read for volume and intensity (you’re more fried by round three than by round one). Logged as nine separate sets across three exercises, that signal disappears entirely; the system would treat the third round of laterals as fresh, which it absolutely wasn’t.

When the agent gets it wrong

On a 3-by-N grid, it’s easy to mis-attach a number. The card is where you catch it. If the reps on one exercise in one round are off, say which: « second round, rear delt was 10, not 12 ». If the agent put the exercises in the wrong order, correct it: « lateral was first, not rear ». The card re-renders with the sequence fixed.

If the agent split your sentence into separate sets instead of a cluster, push back: « that’s one giant set, not nine separate sets ». And if you forgot an exercise in the cluster (« actually I also did face pulls between front and rear »), add it: the cluster grows to a quadset and the rounds re-fill across the new column.

What makes the log worth keeping

Three things decide whether this giant set helps you later: the cluster is preserved with all exercises in order (so the back-to-back density and cumulative fatigue read correctly), the reps land on the right exercise in the right round (so each exercise’s PR ledger stays honest), and the round count matches what you actually did (no invented rounds, no skipped ones). The system uses these for density, cumulative fatigue, per-exercise progression, and weekly volume; logging a giant set as nine separate sets erases the most important signal — that they were all done with zero rest between them. Say the cluster the way you trained it — exercises in order, rounds in sequence — and let the agent group them.
