PR Leg Raises & Push-up plank hold?

Hello again the Darebee person who will probably be neila,

Could you please add leg raises to the PR exercises?
And also the push-up plank hold thing maybe? I know it's similar to both push ups and the plank, just thought it'd be good to track for anyone focused a lot on progression.

Also, mostly out of curiosity, is there a limit to how many exercises can be a possibility in PR or is it more not wanting to overwhelm people with too many choices? Because I don't want to be the only one to suggest additions and then turns out I'm the only one wanting these additions, so if there's potential for more exercises (or all the lvl 3 and above exercises or maybe somehow even all of them but that might be hard server-wise or programming-wise) everyone could have greater variety to choose which to track. Or maybe it would work better to have a specific PR Addition Suggestions box or something similar, then you could see if many people suggest the similar or same new thing to add on there.

added :thankyou:

No technical limit at all. Your records live in your own browser so the server doesn't even know the page exists. We could add two hundred exercises tomorrow and nothing would break.

The limit is us being picky on purpose. Every exercise on there has to make sense as a record: something you can max out, hold or race the clock on and then actually beat a month later. Plenty of exercises don't pass that test (what's a PR for arm circles? whoever gets bored first loses?). The picker also has to stay easy to scan on a phone. If it turns into a wall of 200 tiles most people will close it before they pick anything.

The list will grow. Just slowly and one good candidate at a time. Calf raises got in exactly that way: someone asked and it made sense.

And please don't worry about being the only one asking. If a suggestion is a good fit it goes in even if only one person wanted it. Chances are others want it too and just never said so. Suggestions are always welcome. We just can't promise to add them all or add them quickly - every day here starts with a long list of requests and bug fixes and we work through it as fast as we can :happy:
