See how long I worked out
Is there the possibility to see how long I worked out? Maybe a timer per workout would be nice.
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done! Now, when you finish a workout, you get a congratulations message with your stats for that workout, including how long it was (and how many exercises, sets, and new records you did).
If you're on Android, you can update now. If you're on iPhone, you'll have to wait 2-3 days for Apple to approve it. To update:
- Open the store app on your phone
- Search for Dr. Muscle
- Tap update
Now would be a great time to suggest and vote for our next feature. If you'd like to do that, please visit: https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1-submit-your-feedback/topics#.
Really appreciate your support and advice. Thanks!

Update recommended weight and reps when if I change increments while I execute an exercise
After I open an exercise and get to the screen where I save my sets, if I go and change increments, I have to exit the app to have increments reflected in the exercise execution. Have a look: https://photos.app.goo.gl/FTXEwuYA3dKnBYu79
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done! Now, after you edit the increments, when you return to that exercise, you'll see a popup that lets you reload the app's recommendation for that exercise.

Support 25 pound bars and other custom bars in plate calculator
I like the new plate calculator but it only supports 45 pound barbells when there are also 25 pound EZ bars and the sled of a leg press machine that weighs 118 pounds I think that there should be support for other barbells and other sources that require plates.
Thank you,
Peter
Hi guys!
This feature is already implemented! Tap here to customize bar weight (including 25 lbs):

Sync with the health app on my iPhone X
I would like to sync this app with the health app on my iPhone X please. Is there way to do this now or will there be a way to sync in the future updates? I have used other apps and it syncs automatically.
Thanks, Tony
Per side or combined amounts flag for exercise weight
It would be very helpful to have a flag that indicates per exercise if the weight listed is per individual weight (e.g. dumb bell) or combined (barbell). Certain exercises right now need to he 2x or halved since it is ambiguous from the description of exercises and users can create their own exercises. This would be helpful for data quality and normalization purposes cross users as well since there is no way to tell now.

Bob, you're absolutely right. This topic is one year old and we've since updated the app to show "If you're using dumbbells, enter the weight for one hand" and walk users through unilateral exercises with popups for "Side 1" and "Side 2". So, I'm marking this as completed.
Joel, I wouldn't advise you do the unilateral exercises that way, for reasons Bob explained (thx Bob!). But if you still want to do it, you can create custom exercises that are not unilateral and swap them in. Simply replace the ones the app uses by yours, and you'll be good to go.
Big thanks for all who voted for this topic.
More volume at lighter loads for isolation exercises
I do wander about the approach to some of the isolation movements and in particular things like lateral raises where I feel that more volume at lighter loads is almost certainly better, yet the the algorithm can be quite aggressive in pushing the numbers up. It seems all of the lifts are following roughly the same model, though obviously not everything can progress as much as compounds and certain movements definitely benefit from more volume.
I'm usually supplementing separate work for these groups. So I wonder if in the future some attention might be paid to favoring more volume on things like calves that can use it.
At the end of the day, your app is great and it's honestly the foundation my training, though I do supplement around it with things I'd like to target a bit more or can handle greater frequency (arms). It's pushed a ton of my compounds up and I specifically credit things like ridiculously high rep deadlifts and squats for greatly increasing my conditioning and growing my 1RMs by a huge amount.
I also love and evangelize rest-pause training now. Anyway, keep up the good work and have a nice day!
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done!
You can now customize isolation exercises for more volume at lighter loads. To do so:
- Tap "..." next to an isolation exercise
- Tap "more"
- Toggle on "Use custom reps"
- Set reps to any high range, e.g. 15-25

Tell the app what equipment you have available
Is there a way to tell the app what equipment you have available? I work out at home but i have a cable attachment and landmine attachment on my rack.
We've begun working on a similar feature. Please vote here for your equipment at home: https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/175-select-your-available-equipment-at-home
I'm marking this one as completed to remove the duplicate.
Change the increase in weight from 1kg steps to 0,5kg steps
Is there any chance to change the increase in weight from 1kg steps to 0,5kg steps?
Charts with long-term progress
A chart or table that shows progress for more than 3 sessions (example on 1-2 months)
Charts are out in beta! You can now see your progress for any or all exercises, over the timeframe you want (from 3 workouts to all time).
On the screenshot I'm attaching, you can see my progression for the shoulder press for all time. You'll notice 3 peaks and 2 valleys. The valleys are deloads. As you can see, each deload leads to a bigger peak, and a bigger 1RM.
That's exactly why you should deload when you stop making progress. Deloads wipe away fatigue and let you progress again. Good news is, the app takes care of that for you, and makes you deload exactly when you need it, so you can break your plateaus, get stronger, and build more muscle.
Beta users on Android have access to charts right now, and those on iOs will have access tomorrow (hopefully) after Apple reviews the update. The update should be live for all users next week.
I'm marking this feature request as "Completed."
Cheers!
Smart reminder notifications to train on workout days
I'd like the app to remind me when to train. On the best day. Maybe like this:
"Hey Marc you're supposed to work out today!"
[Workout Now]
[Remind me in 2 hours]
[Remind me tomorrow]
Other workout apps do it (like 100 push-up type of apps).
Hi guys! We released this one some time ago, but it looks like I missed updating the feature request. To set workout reminders, do this:
Tap More (bottom bar)
Tap Settings
Scroll down
Tap Workout reminders
