Incorrect weight calculation in Dumbell training journey

Thank you, Ben!

That’s kind of the problem. Last time I had this exercise a couple of weeks ago, the coach suggested something like15lb or 20lb each hand, no more than 15 reps, and just a couple of rounds (I have to look up the record again, but you get the idea, it was far below what it’s suggesting now).

There’s no way I can do a single rep of 70lb on each hand currently, and I don’t think that jump should be possible even if I told the coach that the exercise was super easy last time (which I didn’t).

Last time I read this forum, I saw some similar cases reported here, like this one and its comments: https://forum.freeletics.com/t/nonsense-training-difficulty/8748/2

I’m almost certain now that this is or was some kind of bug in the coach. The user from that other thread also mentioned having configured the weights he has available, so I’m not sure if that feature is causing these quirks.

Thanks again!
