This may be a silly question but . . . when I am inputting the weight into the workout manager for a specific exercise and I'm using dumbbells, do I put in the amount of just one dumbbell or the total amount? For example, if I use (2) 15lb dumbbells for standing over head press do I put the weight as 15lbs or 30lbs?
 
I had the same question! I put in for one dumbell but noticed that on those particular exercises it seems my average is below most cathe users. Any exercises with the barbell I am at, or above, the average weights....made me wonder!
 
I not sure but what I do is add the 2 DBs weights together, for example we have to test for one arm kickback and then test for two arm kickback.

So for example if the one arm kickback is 15# then the two arm kickback has to be 30#.
