Feature request: add possibility to (next to weight) also include RPE (rate of perceived exertion) to each set of weight lifting

[doodhout]

This is because not only the performed sets x reps x weight is important, the RPE is very important in the sense that it tracks the difficulty of the performed set and serves the purpose of having a complete log of the session. If RPE is missing, then the log being incomplete isn't very useful.

RPE is expressed in a number from 1 to 10; 1 being very easy and 10 being the most intense a movement could be without failing. RPE with halves is sometimes used, e.g. RPE of 7,5; 8,5; 9,5 to have slightly more values to add more nuance.

Currently the following can be defined for a set: number of reps, weight and unit of weight. I would like RPE to be added to that, with the possibility to use a number from this set: [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 7,5; 8; 8,5; 9; 9,5; 10]. I realise that the numbers 1 till 5 are not very useful, but I'd add them just for completeness' sake.

Good idea. I had also thought to add Reps In Reserve or something similar. The difficulty would be to present it in a way that is not overwhelming when somebody does not want wo use it

[rolandgeider]

Another Todo more or less related to this: streamline the log overview to be more useful

[rolandgeider]

What needs to be done here:

• change the Setting model and add a new field (either reps_in_reserve or rpe) and add the appropriate list as possible values.
• update the crispy form to show them
• show the values on the workout overview

Hello,
If this is still open, I'd like contribute it.

[rolandgeider]

Hi! Yes it's still open, you can go ahead

You indicated pty=True, but your platform doesn't support the 'pty' module!

Any help? The second option docker :D

[rolandgeider]

🤔🤔

which docker are you using the devel image?

[SkyNetIndustry]

I got it started :)

Yeah RPE and RIR (reps in reserve) are the same metric really, so any one of those is fine.

Thanks for starting this!

[SkyNetIndustry]

If I understand correctly, is it necessary to change this form?

[rolandgeider]

Yes, after changing the Settings and the WorkoutLog models, take a look at WorkoutLogFormHelper in manager/forms.py

[rolandgeider]

BTW, I would prefer to go with Reps In Reserve, as I find it more intuitive to say "I could have done two reps more". This only changes the possible values in the dropdown, which would go from 4.5 to 1

[doodhout]

@rolandgeider RIR is an excellent choice! Would you like to have "half" reps in reserve? It's usual to use that in RPE-scale (I couldn't have completed another rep, but maybe if the last rep was heavier I could have still done it), but in RIR-scale I don't know whether it has the same usefulness.

[rolandgeider]

Mhhh, I see what you mean. I guess it depends on what meaning you'd give to the half reps.

[doodhout]

Technically I don't think it's of use to allow half reps in reserve, because reps cannot be counted in halves. It does however add nuance to the number, because 1 RIR can mean anything from "just barely 1" to "certainly 1 and maybe two but not sure". Meh, first-world problems.

[rolandgeider]

1 RIR can mean anything from "just barely 1" to "certainly 1 and maybe two but not sure". Meh, first-world problems.

Exactly. I'd vote to leave the halves in 😄

This is merged and is available on master 🕺🏻 I'll update the server the next days

Hi addyhub
I learned the docker and used it to code. Since then, only docker 😄 🐋
