The short answer is...
(reps x lbs) x rounds = total workout weight
The long answer is...
1️⃣ Bilateral Exercises
Definition
Both sides of the body are working simultaneously.
e.g. barbell squat or bench press
Formula
Total weight is calculated simply by multiplying the number of reps by the weight used, then multiplying that number by the number of rounds completed.
(reps x lbs) x rounds
2️⃣ Unilateral Exercises
Definition
One side of the body is working at a time. These exercises will have "per side" indicated in your app.
e.g. single-leg deadlift or single-arm row
Formula
Total weight is calculated by doubling the reps, multiplying that number by the weight used, then multiplying that number by the number of rounds completed.
((reps x 2) x lbs) x rounds
Note: Our old app did not calculate unilateral exercises this way. You had to manually double the reps for unilateral exercises in order for your total workout weight to be calculated accurately.
Now, you as the user do not need to do anything with reps for unilateral exercises – our formula is doing the work for you on the backend. We hope this saves you time logging and results in more accurate weight output data 🤓
