How to review technique cues from workout logs
Technique-cue prescriptions only help when coaches review the form cue beside performed sets—not when cues live only in chat.

Read the cue beside the set, not in a separate note
A useful technique-cue review starts on the workout log next to load and reps. If the form cue only lives in chat, coaches rebuild the focus every week. This is a reading method for cue intent beside performed sets—not a one-line cue writing guide that only teaches phrasing, and not software evaluation of whether cue fields sit on the log.
Compare applied form to the same work before you keep the cue
Missed braces, shallow positions, or ignored lockouts on the same load usually mean tighten or simplify the cue. Clean sets that match the cue can earn keeping it or a small next progression. Ignore calendar pressure when the log shows clients training without the form focus you prescribed.
Put the next cue call on the program
Even a clean keep/tighten/simplify call fails if clients have to dig for it in messages. Attach the next technique cue to the program so it appears when the workout opens, and keep the form cue beside logged sets for the following review.
Keep the Lyfta nudge natural
When the technique-cue review rule is clear, a product like Lyfta Coach helps if form cues stay visible on the sets and programs coaches already use.
