Training Today — Block-Letter Prefix Variants

Four directions for collapsing the current per-block STRENGTH A · SS header strip into a compact left-rail letter prefix on every exercise row. Same athlete in all four cards (Leo Fugman, 3:30 PM Upper Body) so the only thing changing is how supersets vs linear sequences are signaled.

Block-letter key

Two-letter abbreviations only where a single letter would collide (Speed vs Strength). Strength stays as A/B/C since those are already unique block IDs in the program.

Sp Speed ← two letters so it doesn't read as Strength
P Power / Rotational Power
A Strength A
B Strength B
C Strength C
D Strength D (when present)
M Mobility
Pl Plyo
AC Arm Care
R Recovery / Cool Down

Bare letter, linear repeats

Block letter sits on every row. Supersets get a number suffix (A1/A2). Linear blocks repeat the bare letter on each exercise (Sp/Sp, C/C/C). Absence of a number IS the signal.

Sp Splinear (Speed) A1 A2superset, 2-way (Strength A) C1 C2 C3superset, 3-way (Strength C) C C Clinear strength (hypothetical — bare letter, no number)

Read it as: "Two Sp rows = do both sprints back-to-back. A1/A2 = alternate the pair. C1/C2/C3 = three-way superset (Leo's actual C today)."
Linear case: if a strength block weren't a superset, it'd read C/C/C — same letter, no number.
+ Lowest visual noise. Closest to your sketch.
− Linear cue is the absence of a number — rare in practice for strength, but worth watching for off-day mobility cards.

Letter on first row, continuation rail

Block letter prints once on the first exercise. Subsequent linear exercises in the same block keep an empty prefix slot with a thin gray vertical rail tying them to the parent. Supersets always print the pair number on every row (A1/A2). Eyes scan for letters; the rail says "still in that block."

Mental model: "Letter prints once at the top of a linear block. The thin rail says 'same block, keep going.' Supersets are obvious because every row has its own pair number."
+ Two-letter blocks like Sp stay tidy. No suffix soup.
− Rail is a subtle convention — might miss it on a glance from across the gym.

Mini block heading · numbers only on pairs

Tiny block heading on its own line (SPEED, STRENGTH A) — no pill, no SS chip. Linear exercises get a faint · bullet. Supersets get A1/A2 inline. The heading carries the category; the prefix only signals pairing.

Mental model: "Heading tells me the category. The numbered prefix means alternate the pair."
+ Most explicit. Familiar — block heading stays. Side-steps the Sp/Strength collision entirely (full block name on its own row).
− Tallest card — eats the vertical space the left-rail saves.

Bare letter · bracket bar groups supersets

Every exercise gets the same bare letter. Supersets are visually grouped by a left-edge accent bar with a tiny SS tag. Linear blocks have no bar. The bracket itself IS the “do these together” signal — no numbering needed.

Mental model: "Anything bracketed by a blue bar gets done together. Everything else is sequential."
+ Purely visual. Reads quickly across a TV. Sp never collides with anything because Strength rows are inside a bracket.
− If the SS tag stays, that's the chip you wanted gone. Bar alone might be too quiet without it.
