User-Created Exercise with "Similar to..." Option

James 3 weeks ago 0


Request:

When adding a user-created exercise, allow the option to select an existing exercise it is similar to and optionally port over history, latest weight, and reps from that exercise. This would also assume the same muscle group worked.


Suggested Functionality:


When creating a custom exercise, provide an option to select a similar existing exercise as a reference.


Optionally copy over:


  • Recent history (previous sets, reps, and weights).
  • Latest working weight and reps for continuity.


Users can choose whether to start fresh or maintain progression from the similar exercise.


Benefits:


  • Reduces setup time for custom exercise variations (e.g., switching from barbell bench press to a custom "Paused Bench Press").
  • Ensures progression continuity for similar movements.
  • App AI can assume this lift is "similar" to the selected lift.
  • Prevents the need to manually re-enter workout history for slight variations.
  • Would streamline adding custom exercises while preserving usefultraining data.
