Consistency
About 70% of people quit their gym routine in the first 3 months, often due to lack of "visible" progress.
Rest
Rest intervals of 2+ minutes lead to higher muscle gain.
Progress
Only 45% of gymgoers track progress made.
by tracking your workout data and utilizing proper rest, significant progress can be made.

prototyping
Form building
Foamcore models were used to explore form and ergonomics in 3d, while testing features like the carabiner clip.
Futher Iteration
Form is refined, beginning to accommodate internal components, including arduino nano, display board, and magnets to secure device to barbells.
Coding
Focused on learning the Arduino IDE and developing code to interpret accelerometer data and display relevant information on the screen.
Finilizing form
The enclosure was finalized to properly house all internal components while maintaining a compact and functional form.
Final Production
Final prototype produced using 3d printing, with all components installed into their designated locations.
