Thanks for sharing your experience!
Your method of using the custom exercises is incredibly smart! You can see the progress with comaprable prerequisites. So far, I just accepted it as long as I progress over time.
I see. I gave up on the plans even though they are nice! It is too cumbersome to go back and forth. I stay in the history tab and just know my plans in and out. That way I have the old values visible. Also, there's no direct connection to the history graph which is a bit sad. As you said, the app is really nice, I don't complain. I'm happy with it.
