This exercise clearly includes 2 Dumbbells at once, if done correctly. However, in the coach settings for this exercise I can only choose one weight. Do I type in the weight of a single Dumbbell while I’m using two of them, or do I choose the added weight?

I think this is a bug or a wrong setting from the devs. The coach chose a training weight for me which I only have available once and not twice in my overall coach settings. Therefore I can’t do the exercise with the suggested settings.

Hi @Pr1meiro , do you have 8kg as a pair in your settings or a single 8 kg dumbbell?

It looks like you might have told the Coach you only have one single 8kg dumbbell, if you had a pair, the Coach would have said: 2x8kg.

It still assigns you the exercise so that you can still train this, just do one arm after the other.

The first suggestion was 15,2 kg which I only have once, that’s right.

Thank you, I’ll try with switching sides from now on!

But normally the coach recognizes when you have to do left and right and shows it as separate exercises.

Hi @Pr1meiro you’re right, for some exercises, FL have a separate exercise for left and right, but not all. They have allowed the coach to do this for users to be able to hit these exercises even if they don’t have 2 dumbbells
