Maybe making use of these could solve the exercise selection and programming issues in the app?

What do you have in mind?
Could be a new tab "collab" or something to do with joint work maybe, one could post a site, repo or detail a past work experience and anyone who was around or passed thru could reconnect, discuss stuff and share anecdotes. Thinking long dead internal faang tools, stuff like op's post, abandoned repos, old shareware etc. Could also be a place to find cofounders or people interested in starting or working on stuff tog…
Dunno how useful it would actually be, but an interesting thought.

Why?
5x5 and 3x5 are out of vogue for lots of reasons but it largely boils down to: * Not enough volume * Non-periodized That first bit means different things at different phases of a lifting "career". But generally speaking "time under tension" and research into effective rep ranges has changed modern thinking on set sizes and volume. These days people, including World's Strongest Men, tend to recommend higher rep ranges…

#204I suggest https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend... , they also have a spreadsheet to track sessions.
That said, I'm not sure how directly it would help in the context of Workout.cool, can you provide more context ?
Maybe when adding structured training plans? is that the kind of use case you had in mind?
Would love to hear how you think it could fit! Thanks

#205I like the youtube videos, how each exercise is highlighting the engaged muscles. Would like to see the whole list (searchable) of exercises for quicker access.
And yes, you're totally right: having a searchable, complete list of exercises is something. We are working on it. The current experience is a bit too "filter-dependent" let's say and I want to make exploration more "flexible".
Thanks for the feedback it's definitely coming soon!

#206Fuck yeah us nerds are working out, the bullies are so cooked
Honestly, I think it's also tied to growing awareness around how much time we all spend sitting. Yesterday i was sitting 19h.
More devs and tech folks are realizing that staying active is kind of essential if we want to feel good and stay "sharp" long-term let's say.

#207Got an error when trying to build a workout. Looks useful though! When I travel I only have bands if there are no local gyms offering reasonable prices, and doing the same 3 workouts gets boring https://imgur.com/a/Z71iT65 One thing that would be super nice, make the back button and forward button work. Its really tempting to want to hit the back button when you select equipment, click next, and realized you missed o…
One of the goals with Workout.cool is to offer more "variety" and inspiration let's say. Planning to add 5 to 10 exercices per week.

That would be interesting to see. Kinda like a tell-hn, but for old/abandoned projects? I've worked on a few of those internal projects (such as time-traveling vector db for ML tools back in '19), and stuff like that. Dunno how useful it would actually be, but an interesting thought.
