Pretty nice.
Some nits:
* Pendlay rows are misspelled as 'pendelay.'
* Treadmill running prompts for reps and weight, when any two of distance/time/speed would be best.
* Right now you set up something to track a weekly workout cycle. It'd be nice if you could support A/B workouts (you can think of them as cycling every two weeks.)
Also, it'd be nice to load progressive workouts or training programs. Like a couch to 5k, I want to put in my expected distance for each run going five weeks out, I don't just want it to be static. Stronglifts is another example, I want the weight to increase each workout (but then if I fail one day I'd like to adjust).
You might benefit from building a test suite of various popular exercise routines. Different types of people generally follow, crossfit to yoga to whatever, and see how plugging each of them in goes, see if there are opportunities to do it more quickly or simply. (Like maybe people could load public templates...)
Those are just some ideas if you're wondering where to go from here. Looks like a great framework as is, best of luck!
- rge 11y agoThanks for the feedback! Yes, not having all exercises based on repetitions is something I definitely will do, it's been in the TODO for some time. And while it is already possible to have multi-week-cycles, that you could not find it shows that it could be made more obvious. Having complex rules for routines and weight increases is also something I have been playing with, but there are many corner cases that need to be considered once you start thinking about the details (specially when you add failings) and I didn't see the payout at the time. Having a "test suite" with templates is an interesting concept that's going to the "ideas to think about"-list.
