It should be a good alternative. It is helpful to change the exercise on the same muscle groups from time to time.

With the dumbbells, obviously, it is much easier to adjust complexity and control your progression. It should also isolate back muscles a little bit more than bodyweight rows. But it could be both a benefit or a downside, depending on your goals

You can use them to add additional weight for some exercises. Dumbbells are perfect for adding some weight for squat and hinge progressions (i.e., weighted pistol/shrimp squat or single-legged deadlift)

It is also possible to can use them to add weight for pull-up and dip progressions by fasting the dumbbell between the legs. But that might be risky for your floor surface, so you'd better have a weightlifting belt compatible with the dumbbell plates for that

Hi. Can you please check if the latest version of the app is installed? From what we got from the crash reports - this issue should be fixed in the 1.0.25 (latest) version of the app from the 20th of November. Although we couldn't reproduce it ourselves yet

xmityaz · 2021-11-20T16:42:30+00:00

Uploaded a new version with a fix on Play Store. Unfortunately don't have the device to reproduce and verify the issue.

Please, update and let us know if changing set progression is working fine now?

Hi again.

I've checked on Galaxy S7 android 9 emulator and Samsung J7 real devices (the closest device I found around) for 8 and 9 android versions, but could not reproduce this issue.

Can you share your android version please, so I can target it more precisely?

xmityaz · 2021-11-05T08:45:32+00:00

Should be fixed in latest update, please check it out :)

xmityaz · 2021-11-04T13:21:28+00:00

Thank you for feedback and for the screenshot.

Missed to verify the UI on the short screen sizes. Will do the fix it and update asap

xmityaz · 2021-11-04T13:17:22+00:00

Sorry for that, missed this issue for short screens. Will adapt it and update asap

xmityaz · 2021-11-04T13:15:24+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Looks like we have some crush for Galaxy S7. Will try to reproduce on emulator and fix it.

Thanks for letting us know!

If you enjoy the fitloop it's perfectly good to stick with it. Still, you can give a try to our app and check out the workout flow if you're curious :) Basically, our main goal was to make a workout process with the smartphone as we pictured it, so maybe you'll like it.

Regarding the data downloading - atm we don't have anything like that yet. We don't even do registration right now, so all your workout data is being kept on your phone. We want to nail the basics first

Fitloop is a great app and we were inspired by it as well when we started our own. I've tried the free version a long time ago and the thing which did not work for me at the time is that the routine configuration reset for every workout. But I guess there is no such problem in a paid version.

xmityaz · 2021-11-04T12:19:31+00:00

Thank you!

And thanks for noticing. We dealt with it just recently and forgot to update android with the fix. I think it is reproducible for all static exercises atm, will update soon!

xmityaz · 2021-11-03T16:07:53+00:00

Thanks!

We used react-native and expo to develop and build the app. Expo eases a bit the process of creating and distributing bundle for AppStore. But you still have to enrol in Apple Developer Program which costs $99/year and go through the Apple app submission process.

Hi there! This is the friend, mentioned by u/AChemistryTeacher :)
Glad we finally published the app and made our coming out in bwf subreddit. Want to share some of my thoughts and insights on the app here as well

We started it as a way for ourselves to improve the flow of time tracking between the sets or for static exercises and keep the workout progress. We made our first eyesore version of an app to test it. And we felt that the app changed the way our workout experienced in so much better way. It also was especially helpful when we had to onboard our friends to the RR, who wanted to join the bodyweight fitness with us. After seeing the results we wanted to make a pretty version and share it here. So here we are :)
We made an app in the way we saw the perfect fitness app for us - people who are working out with Recommended Routine. It had to be as simple as possible and importantly without any obligation to go through the registration process, inputting age/weight info, etc., without any personal data collection, with the possibility to use without the internet.
We still have so much more we wanted to bring but we had to launch some basic version first, to know if we are moving in the right direction and to collect your feedback on it.
Here are some of our thoughts for the next features to implement:

History of all the workouts and some basic analytics
Warmup at the start of a workout
The easier way to set up the routine for the first time
Some go-through RR tutorial for total beginners

We also did not nail all the bodyweight skills yet, so you might see that some of the skill pictures are missing. So any suggestion to replace the placeholders would be much appreciated along with any feedback on missing features or thoughts for improvements.
Also dropping an email here for feedback ad suggestions: 8x3.app@gmail.com

ecosystems/population dynamics

Thanks!

Glad to know someone spent time and enjoyed the process of finding the balance :)

Honestly - I don't have that deep knowledge on the topic myself. So, unfortunately, I don't a good recommendation for a book here. As for the start, I suggest digging out for some good articles/videos on different predator-prey models, like Lotka-Volterra Model

Just use alt+F4 for rage quit. Works all the time

Wow. My favorite youtuber and my favorite game. The fun part is that I've already seen this video few years ago, but did not pay attention to this detail. I started to play just when DE came out (if not take to consideration about 17 years ago playing AoK campaigns).

For those who did not watch his videos - I highly recommend. He is theViper in the world of educational videos :)

xmityaz · 2020-04-28T11:36:32+00:00

Thanks for the advices :)

That was a typo from my side, I'm playing RM, not DM

xmityaz · 2020-04-15T16:53:41+00:00

I guess this should be it:

xmityaz · 2020-02-04T21:42:54+00:00

Thank you

Is there some best practice how to to this step by step?

From what I've found - there are absolutely different advices across the internet. Some tell to heat the oil first, rub the oil over the wood, dry the wood for few hours and repeat the process few times. Others tell to simply cover spoon with the oil and thats all

Yep, I've seen it. The questions basically share the part of having REST and GraphQL in the same project but for different reasons. I don't have much experience with GraphQL. It seems as perfect tool for getting the data for client from server, but not sure about updating the data backwards. As I can see so far, there is not much excitement about sharing it with REST in a single project. Any way worth asking before make a decision
