Separate section for Long and Short resistance bands and more than 5 weights in Elastic Bands Customization
planned

Would be nice if the app allowed more than 5 weights in the elastic bands customization menu when setting resistance band workouts, as well as sorting between short and long bands.
EDIT BY ADMIN:
- Custom number of bands.
- Different band sets for short and long bands.
- Band sets are specific to each Equipment profile.
- Optional weight/strength value for each band.

Resistance bands: add your own

I'd like to be able to add my own resistance bands and corresponding "resistance", as I have 6 large bands and a few mini loop bands. Full customisation would make it easier fro me to track the ones I've used.

Yes please, especially the ability to assign 'weight' to resistance bands 🙏

More like this, for example.

Change way resistance is calculated

At present, one can only select between five colours, with a preset strength allocated. However, this does not account for the fact that there are different brands with different colours associated to the different strength, and also to the fact that two or more bands can be used together, or double up, increasing the resistance. It would be good to account for it, with different possible combinations.

Gosos Thank you for creating the feature request!
Thinking about this also makes me wonder if we should allow to create different sets of bands depending on the training location. For example, I use different sets at home and at the gym, they're different colors and differents strengths.
It might also be good to add an optional "weight rating" for bands that provide that information, to be able to compare differents sets of bands...

Louis Deveseleer what about getting two option?
- add more band to the first set of bands
- creating/managing addtional custom sets
in this way, we can cover both who use more than 5 bands and who use more than a single set of band.

ShaDe-r9: Yes I agree with those, my last comment was just additional ideas ;-)
The main issue here is because of the way bands are currently structured and used in the codebase, it will be a lot of work to modify that. So, high cost of development for a minor feature, meaning lower priority, since the development time will be better invested working on more beneficial features first. But we'll get there eventually!

Louis Deveseleer The ability to add weight ratings for bands would be great! I think this is an important feature for a calisthenics app 👍🏻

cosmat You are talking about elastic resistance bands, right?
Note that you can edit the band colors by opening any exercise's "Set parameters" with a Band resistance setting selected. In the future, when we work on finer equipment selection, we'll have those band colors settings available from the equipment selection page, along with the specific weights available, etc...
About accounting for combining bands together: I'll keep that in mind for when we work on finer equipment selection as well! We won't be able to add that in the near future though, as that will be a complex change.
