Speediance V3.1: What Actually Changed

The Good: Progressive Overload Works

Speediance finally added proper progressive overload prompts. Before you add weight on bilateral and bar movements, the machine asks first. This is a small UI change with outsized impact on real training.

The Bad: Safety Start Still Limits ROM

Safety Start continues to restrict your range of motion, which actually makes it dangerous for real lifting. When a machine's "safety" feature shortens your range of motion, you lose the eccentric loading benefit that makes these machines worth using. The concentric limiter should help with joint safety without restricting ROM.

Unilateral Mode Still Buggy

Single-arm and single-leg movements still have bugs in the weight reporting and the progressive overload detection. It's a known issue and the community is tracking it.

What I Want Next

Fix unilateral modes. Restore the original Free Lift partner mode that disappeared in V3. Give us raw motor data for third-party logging. These are all achievable in software — they just need to ship.
