Repeat Set #221

Open syborgxx opened 3 weeks ago

syborgxx commented 3 weeks ago

I want to perform a set of exercises x times with a y second rest between sets. The only way I've found to do this is to create Set 1 with my exercises and Set 2 with my rest period. Then I copy those sets to get my desired number of sets. It becomes a bit of a PITA of I decide to change the duration of each exercise.

My suggestion is to add "number of sets" and "rest between sets" variables to the Set properties.

What is wrong with just making the rest the last exercise in the set? My sets usually look like

Exercise rest Exercise rest Exercise rest Exercise Long Rest

There already is a way to increase the number of times a set is repeated. Just increase the repetitions next to the set name in the workout editor.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I have a prescribed set of four finger exercises. Each exercise is repeated ten times in a set. I'm supposed to do three sets. See attached screenshot.

Currently my number of repetitions is set to ten. I do ten reps of exercise one followed by ten reps of exercise two and so on. If I change the reps to thirty then I'm prompted to do thirty reps of exercise one followed by thirty reps of exercise two and so on.

After ten reps of each I want a rest followed by another set of ten each then rest then one last set of ten each.

Yes, it's possible to just replicate the set three times with a rest between. That's fine until I need to edit the exercises. I'd have to either correct the first set, delete the extra sets and then copy the corrected set the requisite number of times. Or I could just change each exercise in each set.

It just seems to me that it would be more efficient to have a way to repeat a complete set as many times as the user requires.
