Editable time

[krafs]

If I want to add past sessions retroactively that I missed I can do that. But is there a way to edit the times of a session? I've failed to register the rest times of a few sessions, and I can't find a way to fix it after the fact, so my statistics are forever messed up. Is there a way to manually edit the rest/session times? If not, is there any workaround? Or will I just have to live with incorrect statistics from now on?

That's an interesting question. Unfortunately, no not really right now. I've been thinking of adding a sort of anomaly detection in the stats, where if it is more than say 50% of the min/max rest, it just doesn't count towards the average.

[krafs]

Ok. I guess I'll just have to live with the messed up statistics then. I understand that making it fully editable within the app might not be worthwhile.

[LiamMorrow]

Yeah I'll have a think about it. I just can't really figure out a mechanism that wouldn't be extremely tedious.

What about an import feature? We can already export as CSV for using the data in other apps, so what about importing data from other apps? That would solve my problem, and would facilitate switching to LiftLog from other apps.

[LiamMorrow]

It's definitely something that would be valuable, however I haven't had the inclination to design such a feature. The model for recorded sessions in LiftLog is not as simple as you'd hope for with a CSV. That is to say, I think it's a decent feature, and with a solid proposal, it might be implemented, however it is low on my priority list to design myself

I understand, I would do the same.

After an hour workout, I highly doubt one can still remember the rest between sets. I would make it such that editing finished workouts doesn't change existing rest times but also doesn't add any (that may be incorrect).

Rest times are already a bit funky, because taking a rest + doing the exercise all counts towards that rest period. In other words, the reported rests sre already wrong and too long.

I prefer not to use my phone all the time at the gym, I look at the clock on the wall for knowing how long to rest. Then i just enter my sets and reps after the workout. I guess that doesn't fit with the way the app is designed to be used.

[JMulder99]

Honestly, I also prefer not using (even taking) my phone in the gym.

Besides the resting timer, I don't see why this app would be badly designed for this use case?

[krafs]

No, LiftLog works great despite the rest times issue. It just feels like a shame that some statistics are always going to be wrong.
