Thank you! Really appreciate.

Hey thanks a lot.

If you have specific trackers or APIs in mind, feel free to share would love to hear more about your use case. Strava/Garmin/Apple? What do you want to see in workout.cool : hearthbeat, steps, .. ?

Thanks mate!

Right now, it's a mix of both let's say.

first, local storage during the session (useful for example in gyms, garages, or basements with poor or no connectivity)

second, syncs with the backend once the session ends and if failed, periodically.

For the tracking, the idea is to eventually generate progress graphs, track "volume" over time, and visualize trends for each exercise or muscle group.

More to come on that front :D

Yes. Planning to add difficulty levels and progression-friendly alternatives (e.g. pike push-ups, dumbbell presses, etc.) so you can train the same muscle group at your current level with the same button as you can see "Shuffle".

I can imagine some "Decrease difficulty" button. (or inverse).

Appreciate the feedback

Just jumping in here to feed my ego :D

after 15 years of lifting, I'm currently pushing 4x10 with 50kg dumbbells on the bench. So yeah, 35kg after 25 years seems odd unless those 25 years weren't exactly "serious" or "consistent" let's say.

No judgment, but yeah

I felt the same way when workout.lol went quiet! really pushed to rebuild something that would last without video licensing issues this time.

So welcome back glad to have you with us again :) !

Thanks for flagging that and sorry you're running into login issue mate.

That error can sometimes appear even after a password reset due to a session mismatch (I'm working on improving that flow this afternoon).

In the meantime, you can try logging in with Google? it should work smoothly and skip the password altogether...

Thanks for sharing. I actually didn't know about Liftosaur before, but I just checked it out and I love their UI! Super clean and well thought out.

Definitely going to keep it in mind.

Thanks for the discovery

Awesome move from Stronger By Science

That said, they're mostly full training programs i guess, while what Workout.cool or the old Workout.lol project needs is more at the "individual exercise level" let's say. Videos, metadata, structure, etc.

If they ever open-source a library of exercise videos with clear licensing, that could definitely help yep

But I think that's my major issue with the app as I understand it.

Starting by choosing which muscle to work is a really odd choice. If you're novice enough that you don't know which movements to choose then you're also likely to not know which are the most effective muscles to target for your goals.

Then the app gives you a bunch of exercises to target that one muscle, but doesn't tell you which other muscles the exercise also targets. Or any clues on suitable weights or rep ranges, never mind progression. It also seems it's suggesting doing all the suggested movements. I picked barbell and pecs and it gave me three exercises. Then, even more weirdly, I came in again to write this comment and selecting the same options it gave me a different set of three exercises. First time around it didn't even suggest barbell bench press - the most obvious and common exercises for that muscle and equipment. That's all really confusing and un-obvious.

Being able to pick a template programme and tweak from there seems a much friendlier way of getting started.

You're very welcome mate:)
