Warmup Generator

What it is

The Warmup Generator writes your warmup sets for you, using the working weight of the exercise and the bar setup you already saved. Kinoku does the math, so your heavy sets start sooner.

How it works

Here is what happens on a heavy bench day. The proposed sets ramp toward your working weight, with reps falling as the weight climbs, and each one rounds to a load your plates can actually make. Two sets that round to the same weight collapse into one. The empty 20 kg bar is the floor, so nothing lands beneath it, and your top set is never copied into the ramp.

You see the whole ramp before a single set is added. Accept the ones you want, then edit or delete them in the workout log like any other warmup. The judgment stays with you on a day when a shoulder asks for one more light set.

Why the app does this math

Warmup math happens under time pressure. You are standing at the rack with cold hands, working out a fraction of a number you half remember, on every heavy day of every week.

The answer also has to land on plates you own. A tidy percentage helps nobody when the gym has no plate small enough to build it. The generator rounds to a weight you can load rather than one that looks neat on paper.

Generated sets stay typed as warmups too. Your working-set numbers, your volume totals, and your records read the same afterwards as they did before, because a warmup counts as a warmup everywhere in the app.

Your setup, not an assumption

Bar weight, plate steps, and metric or imperial display all come from your own settings. Not every gym runs a 20 kg bar and the same smallest plate. A tool that assumed one would be wrong for a lot of the people using it.

What it cannot know

The generator reads weights and nothing else, so it has no idea that your elbow is stiff today or that you already warmed up on the bike. The ramp is a proposal, and the sets you keep are the ones you choose to do.

Free, forever

The generator, your bar setup, and the unit handling behind it cost nothing. Small tools like this are most of the reason the app feels quick on an ordinary day. Charging for a bit of math would be a strange place to start.
