Howdy folks, I have kind of a unique question. I’m looking to sum numbers that look like “1:5:1” or some form like that. In my use case there will only ever be one digit and never something like 1:10:1, if that makes any kind of difference.

So for example:

1:3:1 would be 5.

If context helps, I’m prescribing tempos to exercises (strength coach here) and want to write tempos like 1:5:1 to mean a 5 second pause in a bench press. Then I’d adjust the % of 1RM based on total tempo (sum that I need help finding)

Any help is much appreciated!
