Your workout plan now rotates every week.                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                              
  With Push/Pull/Legs and Upper/Lower splits, the app used to repeat                                                                                          
  the same muscle group on the same day each week - Monday was always                                                                                         
  Push, forever. Starting this update, the split rotates automatically                                                                                        
  so every training slot hits every muscle group over the full cycle:                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                              
  Week 1 - Mon: Push / Wed: Pull / Fri: Legs                                                                                                                  
  Week 2 - Mon: Legs / Wed: Push / Fri: Pull                                                                                                                  
  Week 3 - Mon: Pull / Wed: Legs / Fri: Push                                                                                                                  
  (then repeats)                                            
                                                                                                                                                              
  This means more balanced stimulus, less adaptation, and smarter

  Fixed an issue where tapping "Choose from Library" or "Take Photo" on iPad
