In the app

Hip Flexion with Band appears when you own bands and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have bands

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
