Max weight feature

Dustin Barber 6 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 6 years ago 1

It would be nice to be able to set max weight for exercises. Yesterday the app suggested Lat pulldowns @ 355lbs for 4 sets of 3. The problem is that the machine only goes to 295, and there’s no way to add weights to it. I’ve pinned a 10 pound plate to the machine, but no way to add 60lbs.

Hi Dustin,


Great suggestion. The more people vote for it, the faster we'll implement it.


For now, 2 points:


1- Yesterday, we had a small glitch and had to reboot our servers. Normally, you wouldn't get sets of 3 (5 is the new minimum). Therefore, you'll get lighter weights. We've taken steps to prevent glitches like that in the future.


2- If you don't have enough weight, you can do more reps with the max weight you have. The app won't really mind. Another option would be to change exercise altogether (chin-ups would be good in your case - enter your body weight + use external weights when needed).


I hope this is useful.


Best,


Carl
