No weight being prescribed on dumbbell exercises

🇬🇧 English speaking Forum App Feedback

I recently started a new training journey and so far (I’ve done 3 workouts), no weight is being specified for the dumbbell exy. Seems like a bug.

Also - my app randomly changes into French and I can’t find anywhere to change it back! Anyone else have this issue?

Hey @lisagazdzinski :waving_hand:

There’s two parts to your post, I’ll answer each separately :backhand_index_pointing_down:

The Coach will only assign a weight for small weights (Dumbbells or Kettlebells) when you are doing that respective Training Journey. If you’re doing a Bodyweight Journey, the Coach will only assign x number of reps. We’re working on some changes that will improve this, with luck you’ll see these soon :crossed_fingers:

Yeah, there is a technical bug that seems to be affecting a very small number of users (myself included) where the language of the app is changing to another one of the system default languages. It only affects Android.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a fix yet but there is a way to force the app in to English (assuming you don’t use a system language other than English) :backhand_index_pointing_down:

It essentially requires removing all system languages other than English.

  1. Go to your phone settings
  2. Scroll down and tap on “System”
  3. Tap on “Languages”
  4. Tap on “System languages”
  5. Tap on the 3 vertical dots in the top right hand corner and tap on “Remove”
  6. Select the language the app is appearing in and then tap on the delete icon in the top right hand corner

this means if we are using Coach, the Coach will let us know what the wheight we should use and after we give the feedback if is too heavy or too light?

@ferreirex in case of doing the Dumbbell / Kettlebell or Barbell Journey but not in case of doing a Bodyweight Journey with added equipment.

currently doing Strength, but never saw any whieghts recomendation but I only have one each, sometimes too easy as the wheight isnt that heavy.

@Ben - the training journey I’m doing is called “Fit for Life” (I think … “En forme pour toute la vie” in French lol … yes, I’m on Android and happy to hear it’s a bug and I’m not alone!) . Some of the exercises to specify to use dumbells (e.g. single leg deadlifts), but there is no weight specified, just the number of reps. This happened only once on my previous training journey (dumbell strength?), but it has happened for all of the workouts I’ve done so far on this new training journey. I think it’s a bug.

It is not a bug :+1:

The Coach will only assign a weight for Dumbbell exercises when you are doing the Dumbbell Gain Training Journey ( Musculation à la barre (M) / Tonification à la barre (F) in French :see_no_evil_monkey: )

If you are doing Fit for Life, it will not assign you a weight for Dumbbell exercises, it will only assign you a rep count.

Why? If it’s assigning dumbell exercises, why not include the size of dumbell to use?

It was designed this way since the introduction of these exercises in to the Bodyweight Journeys.

I’m on the Cardio Burn training journey and I have added two pairs of dumbbells (8 & 10 kg). The exercises does not specify the weight of the dumbbells - only the repetitions. This feels like a bug, so it should be prioritized in the next app update.

I beleive only shows the weight when the plans like Dumbbell / Kettlebell or Barbell Journey.

That is correct. There is no weight recommendation when equipment is added to a bodyweight TJ.
