Use the larger web builder for weeks, training days, metadata, exercises, and set targets.

The builder is easier to reason about when the structure is already visible.
Build the shell before refining individual sets.

  1. **Set the program basics** Name, description, preview copy, category, tags, difficulty, estimated
    duration, and visibility all live with the program metadata.

  1. **Create weeks and days** Build the week strip and day rail before filling in every exercise detail.

  1. **Add exercises and sets** Add movements, target reps, load guidance, notes, and any advanced
    prescription fields the program needs.

## What the web builder handles better

- Large structural changes across several weeks
- Saved session imports and reusable day templates
- Advanced set prescriptions that need horizontal space
- PDF export and administration actions on existing programs

> **Work in passes.** Structure, then exercises, then prescriptions. Finalising a day before the
>   program shape exists is the slowest way through the builder.
