Been at this for a bit, might as well introduce myself!
Hi folks. 32/m here that struggled with weight the vast majority of my life. Diabetes and obesity runs in my family and i've finally had enough of it.

Reduce repetitions or sets when can't meet an exercise goal?
I've been using an incremental app for various exercises and i'm curious what the appropriate thing to do when you can't complete the next in the cycle. For example say Today is 24-18-16-12-20 for pushups (it has a timer for the set breaks) but the next day is 32-20-20-14-22 but I couldn't complete that. What would the…
