Workout length estimation
Foreach exercise in a workout, it is possible to know rest times, number of reps and number of sets. So it can be useful to estimate a workout length (with approximatively 5 or 6 seconds for each rep).
Il the workout selection list, or by tapping a workout, we can have the estimated length for the workout.
Thanks for voting for this feature—it's live! You can now see how long your next workout will be. On your home page, scroll down to your next workout's card. You'll see how many exercises it has, and an estimate of how long it should take you to do.

Supersets: automatically return to first exercise
I find a little time consuming to do the manipulation when we tap on superset we go back to the exercise list, we choose the 2nd exercise (perfect), but after we return to the drop-down menu by tapping on superset again,we must re-choose the first exercise it from the exercise list.
I would like to come back directly to the first exercise from the 2nd. If the app could remember, that would be great !! -P
Thanks for voting for this feature -- when the new interface, it's easy to have two (or more) exercises open at the same time. That way, you can easily perform supersets, giant sets, and more!

This feature is now officially released, with update 877.
It is said that Milo of Croton gained enormous strength by lifting and carrying a newborn calf daily as it grew to a mature bull. Now you can do almost the same thing: with this update, your program will level up automatically as you do it. You’ll also always know exactly where you stand, with a countdown on your home screen.
Every time you level up, you’ll do new exercises and hit your muscles from new angles (this helps to hypertrophy them in full). Ready to become mighty like Milo? Simply work out with Dr. Muscle today.
Please stop setting records on new exercised
Please have the app stop congratulating me and setting records on new exercises. No I did not really have a 600% strength improvement because I completed a 'new' exercise in the app and went from 0lbs tp 180lbs. :)
Add Kettlebells as a selection for equipment at Home Gym.
Currently there are exercise in the app which use kettlebells ie Kettlebell Russian Twist, but there is no option to add available Kettlebells as equipment for home gym.
Add Ability To Link Smart Scale Weight Tracking
It would be awesome to not have to manually update my weight daily. I use a Withings scale which talks with my Apple Health and other body tracking apps but does not work with this one currently.
Thanks for voting for this feature! Customer Lou B recently confirmed this work via Apple Health:
"This is exactly the setup I have for my scale. And.... the Dr. Muscle App is picking up my weight daily. So I can confirm it works."

All-Time 1RM listed on Exercise Summary alongside current estimated 1RM
Currently on the exercises summary you just see if you've performed better or worse than your last workout. This is great but can be somewhat misleading over a 6 month period for example because you might find yourself dropping performance (due to fatigue) and building back up to your old performance but not actually making any improvements on your 1RM over a 6 month period for example. You just yoyo up and down depending on your fatigue and fitness levels. This is why I think an All-Time 1RM listed on Exercise Summary alongside current estimated 1RM would be beneficial
Thanks for voting for this feature! It's done.
Look for the setting "Train left/right side exercises separately" under the Settings tab (bottom bar).

Incorporating popular strength, hyperthropy workouts
It would be fun to be able to select some of the most known and popular workouts programs in bodybuilding and strength community, programs such as:
Strength: Starting strength, stronglifts 5x5, jim wendlers 5,3,1, the texas method,...
Hyperthrophy:
German volume training, layne norton phat, jeff nippard 5day full body, fst-7
are all pretty good and fun to do, the app could defenitly improve some of those workout programs with it's own algorithm but also some are not to be messed with, kinda denpends on the program.
Upgrading EASY/MEDIUM/NORMAL exercises
I would like to make the suggestion to delete the easy/medium exercise we got and simply replace it by clicking on any exercise-> settings->difficulty level--> easy/ medium/normal.
offcourse this means easy and medium level exercises should be based of normal level exercise percentage.
for instance
easy: 5/6 rir
medium: 3/4 rir
normal: very hard/ 1/rir
now we dont have to make exercises in difficulty levels which doesn't work based on the normal level exercise
This also let you take it easier on a exercise if you're just not feeling it for that day without losing progress the next weeks, which happens when you deload,
because you need to work back those -10% back up the next 2/3 workouts.
so if you can go to the -> exercise-> setting->difficulty level.
wheter it's in the workout itself or the exercise list this would be a hughe improvement.
and a great value for custom programs.
Guys, good news!
We just implemented this feature for custom exercises. Seppe, that's via the path you suggested:
Next to any custom exercise, tap More
Tap Settings
Select your preference under Exercise difficulty
Does this work for what you are trying to accomplish?
