What
An app that measures rep speed, acceleration and power output.
Use case:
- Brad wants to track his rep speed for a set of deadlifts with 80% of his previous max for 5 reps. He wants to see if his strength and power has increased in the last training cyclus without doing a full out max test.
- Gillian wants do see at what weight her squat starta to slow down in order to better see which percentage of her max she should train with in order to improve.
- Steve wants to see how many centimeters/inches up from his chest in the benchpress that the bar starts to slow down. So he can train that specific part of the lift more.
- Eric does not want to train with a specific rep range, so he just wants to get a notification on his wrist when when the rep speed falls below a certain point.
Minimal viable product
- Show speed measurement on watch face and/or garmin connect.
- Show acceleration on watch face and/or garmin connect.
Additional features:
Accelerometer features:
- Being able to input the weight of what is lifted in order for the watch/app to calculate and display power.
- Being able to log which exercise you just did or are about to do, with rep count, speed, acceleration and power data.
- Being able to view a speed and acceleration curve/graph with measured distance. (Needs input of arm, torso and leg length, and to know which exercise you are performing)
Heart rate features:
- Tracking intra set heart rate, rest periods and heart rate in rest periods.
- Being able to set a threshhold for the heart rate in the rest period. Ex. Notification to begin next set when the heart rate hits a certain mark or when the heart rate has decreased xx amount from previous set.
- Being able to set when the exercise/workout should be over based on when the heart rate is not able to recover quick enough inbetween sets.
