Isolation

Pec Deck

Trains chest first, with real work landing on front delts.

These are the weights Heatwayve's volume audit actually computes with — deliberately conservative, so compounds don't masquerade as full coverage. A 0.5 means a set counts as half a set for that muscle: meaningful help, not a replacement for direct work.

Machine chest fly with pause at contraction; tempo maximises inner chest squeeze and constant tension.

Slight elbow bend; squeeze hard at midline.

How Heatwayve progresses it

Progresses by load in +0.5kg steps. Isolation work is where the honest-volume ledger pays off — compounds alone don't cover it.

Same movement pattern, same progression continuity — these are the alternatives the app offers mid-session when a rack is taken or equipment isn't there.

Knowing the numbers is one thing; hitting them for fifty weeks is another. Open Heatwayve — it prescribes the weight, holds you to the tempo, and runs this arithmetic on every set you log so the week actually adds up.
