Weight Training Module lacking.

Should be able to pick a kift from a list create you own item if not on the list. Enter reps, weight, and notes about each set. Also the ability to graph strength and rep improvments.

I agree. The only thing that makes me want to change out of Fitness Journal to other software is its lack of tracking for weight lifting. There really should be a weight training module and it should be treated differently then just a regular workout, and accomadate sets, reps, and graphing...

Chris,

You may want to consider some the comments posted here. The weight training module is too general and needs to set up differently.

Thanks,

Ron

Hey Ron - These posts are before the strength training launch. Have you checked that out instead of logging weight training in workout journal?

See the dumbbell below... "Strength"

I am not very good at using it (In that I am not sure if I do it right.)

After a workout, I click the dumbbell, then I click on "plan a workout", I enter what I already did as planned, and I name it by the date. Then I go to "log a workout" - not sure if I am using the right names - what somes up was my planned workout, then I just update and save it. It estimates the time.

For me the time is usually over what I spent, becuase I often do not rest between reps, I do two body parts at once, and jump back and forth.

Ron - Let me know what you think, or if you find a more efficient way to enter the data.

Thanks,

Jim
