I have the tempo.fit - It's a giant video screen with camera that does exactly this. It's a great piece of kit.
Wow, that's fascinating, first time I stumble upon the company. Seems like Peloton for weight lifting Does the detection work well? Is it worth the price?

Re: Show HN: I made a community sourced fitness routine database
#82If anybody is looking for a routine database that supports more complex routines like the Wendler's 5/3/1 variations with Training Max percentage based weights then check out the [Hardy.app]( https://www.hardy.app/howitworks ). The routines can have progression overload based on AMRAP, deloads, etc. And the workout tracking app calculates changes in your TM based on AMRAP and other rules in the routine. Just enter yo…
Looks like a great app! I run 5/3/1 and this is perfect. Currently I use https://strong.app but I'd love to see a way to see my weekly volume per muscle group. Is that something you are planning to add on Hardy?
I added your wish to our subreddit as a feature request: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardyapp/comments/nzsmu2/feature_re...? If your username is there as it is here I can notify you once we have added such a feature. :)
Re: Show HN: I made a community sourced fitness routine database
#83I was wondering if https://musclewiki.com/ was going to pop up. My wife had just sent it to me earlier this week. It lets you pick gender, muscle group, exercise type (stretch, bodyweight, barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells) and has detailed instructions and videos. (It does not have sets/reps like the shared site.) Perhaps they would be good to use in tandem. Personally, I think for sets/reps, it follows most exercise…

#84I'm very tempted to add mine which I would call "the lazy lifter: build a nice body with 4x30 minutes per week" (a very efficient, leangains-based routine). That said i'm very sad by the abscence of likes. What dopamine rush can i hope to get by contributing to your database :( ? Or at least comments.
I started with a trainer one year ago next week, doing 2 days per week with him and one day of "plyometric" drop-set/super-sets (which seems to be a fancy way of saying workout almost to failure). Total time investment? 30 minutes, 3 times per week. My entire physique has changed, including greatly increased muscle mass, energy levels, and stamina to do whatever physical activity. I've also dropped 30 pounds and have…

> You don't need more routines. You need the routine you'll do 50 or 100 times. Honest question from someone with just anecdotes and no data: Is it preferable to do the same routine regularly over different routines (equally often)? Last year, a friend sent me a link to https://darebee.com/ where I've been choosing different routines almost every time (or a program, which consists of different routines for each day).…
Routines should be a mix of things you develop expertise and efficiencies at (say, compound barbell movements or heavy KB base movements), and other things that you aren't efficient at. Strength training (simply one modality) is about progressive overload. So, it helps to get better at some of your exercises, but it's also advantageous to stress your body in ways that you're not efficient at -- but, if that's all you…
While I have certainly a lot to learn on that topic, I feel like I haven't failed completely - of course all kinds of exercises come around again, and I'm increasing difficulty/number of sets. So there's room for optimization, but it's not a bad start, I think.
Thanks again :)

I would assume that the appropriate exercise regime should be determined by sex rather then gender?
