What's New in Compound Theory

1.29.29

July 7, 2026

Workout polish and return-to-training fixes: • Workout set rows now stay on screen on smaller iPhones, with warmup/main-set headers and action buttons aligned inside the card. • Rest timers now respect your warmup, success, failure, and accessory timing settings instead of falling back to a fixed duration. • Apple Watch workout updates now follow the set you actually complete, including out-of-order exercise changes. • Long-layoff deloads for 5/3/1-style programs now restart at the beginning of the cycle while preserving your next lift.
