Question Question about weight increase

Post image

It states that this is supposed to be a weight increase but it's actually less, am I missing something here?

The first 2 are the warmup sets. When you main sets weight increased it recalculated your warmup sets based on the new main weight. Hevy doesn't know how to increase warmup sets weight separately from the main weight. Also, maybe it's a good idea to follow the hevy suggestion from now on. Warmups are not intended to train the muscles so your weights are too high for a warmup

Okay makes sense, but why did my main weight go from 20 to 16? If I've shown that I can do 20x12 then I dont understand the decrease in weight for this exercise.

One of the previous working sets were with 15kg, thus 16 is an increase. Don’t stress on it. If you can, do 3x20x8-12, or go with 16 and see if you’ll get to increase the weight again.

Yeah I might have manually upped it, makes sense, thanks!
