Choose different weight increments for barbell, dumbbell and pulley on settings

Eduardo A. 3 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 1 year ago 4

Choose different weight increments and min weights for barbell, dumbbell and pulley on settings. (This one is important, but I have an alternate solution to edit these numbers in each exercise after I built the workout).

I agree. Dumbbells should have their own settings (like plates). And those should be used to compute weights during workouts, instead of the "increments" setting under More > Settings.

I went into my settings today to change the weight and expected I could change settings for exactly those 3 devices. So, I totally agree that I would love this option as well because it's not possible right now.

Thanks for voting for this feature—it's started! Weight recommendations for barbell exercises will now match your plates increments (instead of the global increments setting). Dumbbells are next.
