Caliber 5.12.2 - Reset Exercise PRs & See Their Dates

Here's what's new in version 5.12.2 👇

Hope you’re all having a good start to your week! We just released an update for the app today, which includes a few nice enhancements to exercise PRs, so we wanted to post here to cover what was included more specifically:

Reset Your Exercise PRs

We’d been getting quite a few requests to be able to reset exercise PRs (we like to think because you all like the new realtime PR screen so much), which can make sense in cases where your previous exercise history doesn’t really feel representative - such as if you're recovering from a more substantial injury, coming back from an extended break, or working to improve form on certain exercises, etc.

After discussing this with a number of people, we decided to take an approach where you can clear PRs for any individual exercise, along with all of your exercises at once, while retaining the actual historical data for the exercise(s).

To clear PRs for an individual exercise, just go to the History tab for that exercise, and you should now see a ‘Reset’ option next to the header for that section. Tapping on this and then confirming will clear all PRs for the exercise.

Alternatively, if you’d like to clear PRs for all of your exercises, you can do this by going to Menu > Account Details, where you’ll now see that option at the bottom of the screen.

Added Dates for Exercise PRs

This is something we were already planning to do as part of the upcoming Progress section rebuild - where we’ll be adding these new, customizable charts directly into the Exercise History tab as well - but since this paired well with the update above we decided to do it a bit earlier.

Now when you go to the History tab for any exercise, you’ll see the specific dates listed for any PRs that you’ve achieved. We’re planning on linking this all up later on too, making it easier to correct any specific ones if you need to, but for now this hopefully provides a bit more context when deciding whether you’d like to clear them or not.

Otherwise, the rebuild of the Progress section of the app is going really well - can’t wait to get this out for everyone, hopefully within the next couple weeks. Until then, I hope that you enjoy these PR-related updates, and as always just let us know if you have any questions or feedback!
