Faster!

For the first time since writing statulo.us, I looked into some performance improvements. Today I've launched some new code that should make statulo.us feel much faster. If you experience anything to the contrary, let me know.

New Categories Added

As requested by a contributing member, the following categories have been added to statulo.us:

• Max 1 Rep: Back Squat
• Max 1 Rep: Front Squat
• Max 1 Rep: Overhead Squat
• Max 1 Rep: Deadlift
• Max 1 Rep: Bench Press
• Max 1 Rep: Clean
• Max 1 Rep: Jerk

Several statulo.us users have also started using the custom workout feature to track their nutrition. While I never saw statulo.us as much of a nutrition tracker myself, I certainly see the benefit of having all your workout and nutrition information in one place. Now that I have also started to track nutrition on statulo.us, I've added a "Nutrition Log" category for that purpose.

Some folks have asked me how I format my entries to get bullet points and basic formatting. Check out the textile formatting guide to get your posts looking their best.

New Feature: Gym-specific workouts

I announced earlier that you can associate yourself with your gym on statulo.us. Now we've taken that a step further. I received some feedback that it would be nice to add gym-specific workouts to statulo.us. Now you've got it!

If you associate yourself with a gym on statulo.us (click on "My Gym" for more info) you will see the general log categories as well as categories specific to your gym.

This means I'm also happy to announce that in honor of Margie from TJ's gym, the "Margie" workout is now available in the logs for anyone who has signed up with TJ's gym on statulo.us.

Hey TJ, send me more named workouts!

New Feature: Time-based custom workouts, new categories

The great feedback on statulo.us keeps pouring in. Yago asked about a feature that I'm sure all of us have been missing. Time-based custom workouts.

For new custom workout entries, check the "Timed Workout?" check box to indicate that your entry should always be displayed in time format (12:12 vs. 12.2).

For existing custom workouts, you can edit your entries via your profile page. Click on the "Edit" link next to the workout in question, and select the "Custom Workout" and "Timed Workout" check boxes. That's it!

Also, for you rowers out there, statulo.us now supports 500m, 1000m, 1500m and 2000m Rowing workouts.

Keep Tracking (and keep that feedback coming!)

New Feature: Gym group logs

So far you've been able to share an individual workout, your entire workout log or an individual graph, with a special link. This works great when you want to share with someone outside your workout group.

What about the community at your gym? What if you could "join" your gym on statulo.us and have your stats automatically show up in a "group log" for your gym. Now you can.

You'll notice a new menu item called "My Gym". If you have not joined a gym on statulo.us yet, you'll get a listing of the gym's we're currently working with. If you see your gym listed, join the fun! If you don't see your gym listed, tell them to contact me.

Once you "join" your gym on statulo.us, you'll be able to view all the stat entries for your gym, including yours, in one place!

Keep Tracking!

New Categories!

I've received lots of great feedback on statulo.us so far! I'm happy to announce that more workout categories have been added, as requested.

For Crossfit workouts, I've added:
Angie, Badger, Barbara, Chelsea, Cindy, Daniel, Eva, Griff, Isabel, Joshie, Karen, Murph, Nicole, Randy, and Tommy V.

For runners, I've added:
400m, 800m, 1200m, 1600m, 5k, 10k, Half Marathon and Marathon distances.

Keep Tracking!

New Feature: Share a graph!

You can share your workout log, or an individual workout. Now you can share any of your graphs, too! Each graph in the "My Graphs" section now has a "Share this graph" link, which you can use to send to any of your friends. Want to show off you much you've improved on Fran? Post that link and let's see!

Keep tracking!
