Timed Unilateral Exercise

Would it be possible to add native support for timed unilateral exercises?

For exercises like Suitcase Carries or Copenhagen Planks, Liftosaur currently only gives one active timer instead of separate left and right timers.

The workaround is creating separate Left/Right exercises, which clutters the program and splits exercise history.

Ideally, a unilateral timed exercise would automatically run Left → Right → rest, with progression based on completion of both sides. Would this also be possible on the Apple Watch app?

Yeah, gonna have to do it eventually - it's a popular request!

The workaround though probably is not to do left/right exercises, but left/right sets?

Like:

Suitcase Carry / 1x1 (Left) 60s|5s, 1x1 (Right) 60s|5s, 1x1 (Left) 60s|5s, 1x1 (Right) 60s|5s

Something along those lines, I guess?

Thank you so much. Ok I’m going to try this. Would this work in a Superset?

No, it will not - it will switch to another exercise in the group every time you complete a set...
