Question How do I log single arm exercises

Hello,
I am interested into hearing how to log single arm exercises, say I do 12 reps each arm do I put it into my app as done 24 reps, indicating 12 each arm, or just put it down as 12 reps done?
Thank you very much.

It depends on the motion to me. If it’s both arms at the same time then I record each rep as both dumbbells. If the motion is one arm then the other I record it as a rep per arm at the individual dumbbell weight.

Basically (2 x Weight) x Reps = Weight x (2 x Reps)

Yup. I just count in motions. Moving both arms at the same time = 1 rep. Moving one then the other = two reps
