Dr Muscle Needs The Nutrition App (Eve App) Connected For Optimal Fitness/Bodybuilding Results!
Nutrition is 80-90% of your results in Fitness and Bodybuilding! The Eve Nutrition App needs work badly so we need to get it connected to Dr Muscle so we can track our intake of food, recovery, and body composition.

Thanks for voting for this feature! It's done.
We've merged Eve with Dr. Muscle, and the app now offers body weight and diet coaching. On your home page, you'll see calories, protein, carbs, and fat recommendations (and more).

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!

1 Rep Max and Percentages Per Exercise
I've been doing some blood flow restriction training... most studies are done with 20% of a 1 RM for a given exercise. However, it would be great to see my barbell curls and have DR Muscle estimate my 1 RM... and then show me the percentage breakdown.
There's plenty of web calculators that do this already I know but moving from exercise to exercise, I am not sure what my 1 RM for should press would be without going outside of the app and then guessing. But Dr Muscle probably already knows my best and highest weight I've used for dumbbell shoulder presses since I started using it and would have a better idea of my true 1 RM and what 20% of that 1 RM realistically be.

Marc, thank you for that suggestion. Until it gets more votes, you can always check your 1RM (just not percentages) for any exercise under More > Charts. Use the drop-down menu to select the exercise and timeframe you want, and you'll your 1RMs for that timeframe.

Blood Flow Restriction Sets
Considering the amount of studies on BFR training, it would be rather interesting to see if an exercise could be setup as a BFR set...
Meaning DR Muscle takes 20-25% of your 1 RM max.. the 1st set is 30 reps... then 30 seconds rest.. 3 more sets of 15 with 30 seconds inbetween.
I suppose this could be done today just by setting up a custom exercise like Dumbbell Curls - BFR and just manually putting in a weight and using the timer between sets.
But what I wouldn't want is for DR Muscle to start seeing such improvements off the Dumbbell Curl - BFR sets to increase the weight. I'd like it to take my regular Dumbbell Curls and extrapolate a 20% use from that. Or else I risk going pretty heavy with high reps and that would defeat the purpose.

Marc, thanks for your sharp feedback. Looking forward to implementing that suggestion.
In the meantime, you guessed it: you can already create custom exercises that behave that way inside Dr. Muscle. Here's how:
Tap Exercise (bottom bar)
Tap Exercises
Tap the big plus button (bottom right)
Name your exercise > e.g. Dumbbell Curl - BFR
Is this a bodyweight exercise? > No
How hard should the exercise be? > Easy
...
That "easy" setting is the key. With that, your weights will only go up if you tell the app "I could have done 7+ more" at the end of your first work set.
Hope that all makes sense!

Add more body parts (quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves)
Legs exercises separated by quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves etc. The same for other body parts.

Thanks for voting for this feature! Exercises are now shown by more body parts, including those. Plus, you can now choose them as your body part priority under "Settings".

Generate workout on the fly based on equipment available
It would be wonderful if a feature like this had some sort of travel-mode where it does its best to intelligently give you a challenging workout on equipment you've never used before and likely won't again. Generally if I'm doing a workout at a hotel, I'll likely never see that hotel again and won't have time to build up a smart profile for the equipment available at this one particular location.

Improve the calories burnt calculator to incorporate work volume performed in the time allocated
Reps, type of workout, rest period, exercises performed all to be taken in to account when calorie consumption is calculated.

Improve web-app
Couple of suggestions for improvements for the web-app:
1. Downloading csv data - it's great that we can do this, but even though the download comes in .csv, it still needs manual adjustments to make the data workable. I always get a "header" for each date in one line, following the individual stats for each day in subsequent line. This doesn't make sense for csv. It would be better if ALL data was in every line. So Date/Time/Exercise/Weight/Reps etc all in every line.
Also, please add the year. Right now, it makes it hard to compare multi-year data, as there is no info for the year and I have to add it manually.
2. Since max weight and work sets are both shown on the same graph with the same scale, the graph is "zoomed out" quite a bit, and all curves look pretty much flat, even if you have a 3% improvement in max weight. I would like to see either to separate graphs (or just one graph with max weight, "work sets" doesn't mean much, as it's always 5 if you look at an individual exercise), or one graph with two different scales on the left hand and the right hand side.

Add Ability to Manage Exercises Online (in browser)
It would be great to manage exercises online, i.e. creating new ones, editing, renaming, etc. I find that I want different versions depending on which gym I'm in because machines are different, and even the "same" machines aren't the same regarding the weight marked on the stack. I know it can be done in the app but it would be easier to make lots of changes in a web browser.
