Logging Weights: A Matter of Preference
When logging weights in the Moves App, you have two options: track the weight per hand or the combined weight of both dumbbells. Both approaches are valid—the key is choosing one method and staying consistent.
Option 1: Log Combined Weight
How It Works: Record the total weight of both dumbbells.
Example: If you’re holding 20 lb dumbbells in each hand for Reverse Lunges, you would log 40 lbs total.
Who It’s For: Great for those who like to see the total load lifted, giving a clear view of overall effort.
Option 2: Log Per Hand
How It Works: Record the weight of each individual dumbbell.
Example: Using the same Reverse Lunges, you would log 20 lbs per hand.
Who It’s For: Ideal for tracking effort per limb, especially useful for unilateral exercises (one side at a time).
Tips for Consistent Logging
Pick One Method: Decide which method works best for your goals and use it consistently across workouts.
Track Progression: Gradually increase weights over time to continue challenging your muscles.
Stay Mindful: Consistency ensures your data accurately reflects your progress.
⚡️ Key Takeaway: Whether you log weights per hand or combined, consistency is more important than which method you choose. Both approaches support tracking your gains effectively.
