HyperResponder includes a rest timer to help you manage breaks during training.

Because HyperResponder is built around free-form logging, workouts are not logged one set at a time. That means the rest timer is started manually, not automatically after every set.

Using the Rest Timer

Use the rest timer when you want to keep your workout pace consistent.

You can choose the rest duration that fits the session.

For example:

• shorter rests for higher-density training;

• longer rests for heavy strength work;

• adjusted rests when you need more recovery between sets.

The timer is there to support your workout rhythm, not force a fixed training style.

Does the Timer Start Automatically?

No.

HyperResponder does not automatically start the rest timer after each set.

Free-form logging works from a text box, so you usually enter the workout as a full note rather than tapping through every set live.

Start the timer manually when you want to use it.

Logging Supersets

You can log supersets by writing the exercises in the order you performed them.

Example:

If those exercises were performed as a superset, keep them next to each other in your log so the session is easy to understand later.

Keep Supersets Simple

For the cleanest result, write each exercise on its own line.

Better:

Harder to read:

HyperResponder can structure the exercises more reliably when the sets, reps, and weights are written clearly.

Do I Need to Criss-Cross Sets?

No.

You do not need to write every alternating set individually.

If you did two sets of bench press and two sets of push-ups as a superset, you can write:

You do not need to write:

Keep the log clean unless you specifically want to record extra detail.

Superset Tagging

HyperResponder does not currently have post-parsing superset tagging.

That means the app may show the exercises as separate movements in the workout, even if you performed them back-to-back.

Post-parsing set and superset tagging is a planned improvement, but for now the best approach is to keep related exercises grouped together in your free-form input.

Tips for Better Logs

For clearer supersets and paired exercises:

• put each exercise on its own line;

• keep paired exercises next to each other;

• include sets, reps, and weights where relevant;

• use simple labels like “Superset” if it helps you read the log later;

• review the parsed workout before saving.

Example:

The label can help you understand the session later, even if the app does not yet apply a special superset tag.

Quick Answers

Does the rest timer start automatically?
No. Start the rest timer manually when you want to use it.

Can I choose the rest time?
Yes. Use the timer duration that fits your workout.

Can HyperResponder log supersets?
Yes, you can write supersetted exercises in your workout note. They should be kept next to each other for clarity.

Does HyperResponder currently tag supersets after parsing?
No. Superset tagging is not currently available.

Should I log every alternating set separately?
Usually no. Write each exercise clearly with its total sets and reps.
