since its officially confirmed that when we use 2 DB for a workout like DB bench press, Jefit calculates the input as per Db, I want to be more consistent in the weights logged
i have been logging 1 DB since that update, but before when it was still not clear and confirmed I added the 2 (imagine 90lbs me DB pressing 2 50lb db 😅)
i wonder if you guys can do an automated ÷2 for all these specific workouts in the setting? like a one click auto edit feature so all my previous lifts prior to the update gets halves?
or can I just do the new system consistently and eventually the app will average out?

We're hoping to release a tool to automatically update dumbbell logs that were recorded with two dumbbells, but it's been delayed a bit since we're trying to finish a bunch of projects before the holidays
We appreciate your patience and will update you when the tool gets released

Just focus on beating last session. What weights you used weeks back are irrelevant today. Only thing that matters today is that you beat last session. Everything else is just numbers.
I will never come close to most of my PR's since my goal today is to put as much quality tension on the targeted muscle as possible, not just move as much weight as possible as it used to be. I have done 160 kg smith bench for reps, now I do 90 kg 🙃

I think you are correct that it will age itself out if you’ve chosen to change it up. I’m not sure how valuable 12m volume is as a metric anyway, but that’ll be the longest thing to age out.

You don’t have to change it. With one handed DB exercises I will still log weight of 1 DB, not 2. I think 1 DB is correct way; if you have injured 1 arm, you can still do same exercise with another.

I'm still a believer that bilateral dumbbell excercises should be logged as total weight lifted, while unilateral excercises should be a set per arm. This is how the app has always calculated total volume.
I do understand that some people prefer to log per arm/dumbbell so I don't see why JeFit can't incorporate the option to log it as either total weight (x1) or per arm/dumbbell (x2) to save screwing with peoples previous logs that for some of us, go back 10+ years.
