From gym notes to a build
I took all of the notes I had written at the gym about the PB Tracker and put them into Claude AI. The machine settings were added to the exercise tab, and the speech to text button now has the PB inside the exercise, so you know what your highest weight is.
Then a delivery job came in. I spent five more minutes waiting for Claude AI to finish the latest version, uploaded it into an assembler, assembled it into an APK, put it on my phone, and darted out of the house.
Leg day
At 12:50 p.m. I arrived at the gym and came out to test my app. I started leg extension at 42.5 kilos, and now I have machine settings, so I saved the leg extension at medium extension with the leg arc at an 11 position. I will remember that later.
The PB Tracker app is working very well now. It’s showing me my personal best when I talk out an exercise, and then I can fill it in after.
What the test turned up
I figured out that when a dumbbell exercise is logged with the voice button, it should also show a small icon indicating whether the weight is for dumbbells or barbells. It doesn’t show the split weight. I need to be able to see whether it is 16 kilograms plus 16 kilograms.
