Set types, and what they count
Every set is a normal working set until you say otherwise. Tagging one changes the letter on the row, and for two of the seven types it changes whether the set reaches your numbers.

Step 1. Tag a warm-up while you build
Every set you add arrives as N, a normal working set. The chip at the end of the row is the control: tap it and the picker opens.
In the builder it offers two, Normal and Warm-up. Pick Warm-up and the row goes amber, letter and set number both, so the warm-ups are readable down the left edge of the list without reading a single word.

Step 2. The full list, once you are training
Start the workout and the same chip opens a longer list. Four types sit at the top, a dashed line separates them, and three more sit under it, dimmed but one tap away.
Remove set closes the list at the bottom. It deletes the row, and the sets under it renumber themselves.
- N normal, W warm-up, D drop set, F failure
- B back-off, P pause rep, R rest-pause
- One tap to tag, tap the same row again to change it
Step 3. What each one counts toward
The ? in the session header opens the glossary: every letter, its colour, and what it means. It is the same list the picker shows, with the definitions the picker leaves out.
Two of the seven stay out of your numbers. Warm-up and Failure are logged and shown, but never counted toward volume, estimated one-rep max or analytics. The other five count in full.
Progression is stricter than analytics. Bolt reads normal sets only when it writes your next targets, so a drop set counts toward volume and not toward what you are asked to lift.
