Dropsets #229

Open LiamMorrow opened 1 month ago

LiamMorrow commented 1 month ago

A lot of people like to do dropsets -> this is a form of pyramid set where the user starts with a high weight and goes to failure, then lowers the weight and goes to failure immediately again, as many times as they like.

It is currently possible to record these, but it is just building off of the "Per set weight" feature.

Per Set weight feature:

This issue is the starting point for designing a native dropset / pyramid set feature. It could just look like a tutorial directing a user to the per set weight feature 🤔

A feature that I realize was missing, because I've been doing it lately, is dropsets. It could be a toggle in the Add Exercise page, where you toggle it, now that exercise has dropset functionalities. To keep it simple, just select the number of sets, and display a list of weight and reps for each set. (Example: 3 sets -> 1st: 10 reps @ 40lb, 2nd: 10 reps @ 35lb, 3rd: 8 reps @ 30lbs). Just allow for custom weight input.
