Progress Charts need work
As much as I appreciate the app doing all of the “behind the scenes” work for me, the progress charts are severely lacking. So many other fitness apps do a great job of showing the user progress in weight loss/gain as well as strength, volume, etc. over different time periods. The charts are clunky at best and can really use some graphic design touches.
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?
Ability to create an easy exercise from an existing one in Dr Muscle exercises database
create a easy exercise copy of an existing one to add to your custom workout routine.
I can create one but the app doesn’t link it to the existing (normal) version só It! Can relate the weights as the app is already doing with with the already existing easy exercise versions.

Look for the setting "Train left/right side exercises separately" under the Settings tab (bottom bar).

Tie more settings (like min max weights) to equipment profiles
Min weight, max weight, lbs vs kgs, etc (the units section) that ties to the equipment profile section. For example, my dumbbells at home max out at 70 lbs. The dumbbells at the gym max out at 120 lbs. Would be good to have the available weights change in tandem with available equipment profiles.
Happy to confirm that dumbbells and plates have been tied to equipment profiles for some time now. Marking this as completed. To vote for our next feature, please visit https://muscle.userecho.com/. Thanks!
