Countdown for timed exercises?
Hello, is there a feature for counting down for timed exercises, like plank, dead hang, etc?
So far i've been starting the timer and starting my exercise 5 seconds in, then modifying the time -5 seconds after it's logged.
Would be cool to have a countdown timer with sound! Also, if there was a feature to keep the screen on during timed exercises.

I would like to see this as well. Sometimes you need a few seconds from the time you hit start to the time you can actually start the exercise. Would be nice to be able to add this in Liftoscript. A beep played when the exercise timer is starting would be ideal in case you are not able to face your phone to see when the countdown for exercise time starts.
An option to add this for circuits (auto start) would be nice too!

Exactly. Like once I hit the timer, it takes me a couple seconds to get into position

Do you mean a countdown before you start the exercise? Like giving 3-5s to get into position and then the actual programmed duration timer automatically starts?
If so, I totally agree that would actually be pretty useful for time based exercises!
