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.

I have a tech request - it would be very helpful to access all the intra workout app functionality (timer, weights, repts, etc) via a website and not only through mobile apps.

Working out via the web from my laptop at home is exactly what I meant. Using a laptop at home is much easier than using the mobile app at home.

Thank you,

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.

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

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.

Reps, type of workout, rest period, exercises performed all to be taken in to account when calorie consumption is calculated.

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.

For the last six months, you could pick any exercise from the workout list to perform next, in any order. If Leg Press was next on the list, and someone was using the machine, you simple chose another exercise. When you saved that exercise, you could then pick Leg Press, or something else if the equipment was still busy.  I really like the look of the new interface, the fact that reps and weights are editable while you do the exercise, etc. BUT, I don't think the next exercise on the list should be "automatically started" when you save the previous exercise. It only takes one touch to select any exercise, but takes a lot of effort to "back out" and do a different exercise if it is already "pre-loaded" for you.  If a lot of people like the new "auto start", maybe there could be an "option" or "switch" in Setup where you can choose if you prefer "Auto Start Next Exercise in list" or "Choose the next exercise yourself"? (like it worked before)

Would be great if we can have a long press and swipe on an exercise to change its order faster, on the order of exercises page as it's very tedious to move them with the arrows.
