Hi, it would be great if the meal plan synced into the app so the recipes, meals, and ingredients were there and it automatically updated each week and each day you can mark what you've eaten and the macro count updated. Would also be great if you could directly replace ingredients and it updated macros (i.e. meal calls for 6oz chicken breast but you substitute for 6oz salmon and the protein, calories, fat content would update). 

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. 

Would be good to have a short description with attention points for the exercise.

Some of these are new to me and now after the 3rd training I notice...

Hi

I understand how to add cardio as an exercise. But as an example, I do outdoor bike rides. I click to add outdoor biking and it takes me through sets in the description. Cardio should be based on time, and distance. Also maybe an override for calorie expenditure.  As an example a casual stationary bike is not the same as a hard peloton ride.  It would be great to add this and have the algorithm calculate when you need to back off on cardio as well based on your goals

I think we should have plate calculators for isolateral machines because the one for a bar doesn't work because it bilateral and every machine has different starting resistance. It will be helpful and save time. 

When logging cardio exercises it asks for seconds only making it difficult to constantly do the math. Could this be changed to be two parts? Enter minutes and seconds and the ability to add by text or use a scroll function. 

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.

I would like to suggest adding a static stretching component to the end of each workout that walks users through the best static stretches based on the workout they just completed.  While I believe in mobility exercises prior to working out, I think an automated series of static stretching exercises AFTER the workout (optional of course) would be beneficial in limiting DOMS as well as stretching muscle fascia to assist in muscle growth.

i know I am frequently guilty of ending my workout and moving on with my day without stretching appropriately and I firmly believe adding stretches to the end of each workout automatically would be a great way to make sure they don’t get overlooked.

Heavy lifting takes it toll.. so I opted to switch things up.  Maybe some high rep training for variation.  DR Muscle let me switch the program to 12-20 reps and reloaded.

But the weights it picks is insane.

For example, if my normal weight was 100 for 17 on tricep pushdowns, switching set it to 90 for 17?  

Or flat dumbbell presses went from 85 at 8... to 70 at 18.

I believe it does this to keep in line with your current strength curve.  I'm not sure what to do here.  I don't want to deload endlessly but I also wish I could say.. hey DR Muscle.. you know my 1 RM for bench press.. okay so instead of working out in the prescribed 75-90% range, let's take it down to 55%...

Maybe that would be a better option? 

I want my reps to be 15-20 and within the 55% range ... so it's not a deload but it gives me more volume at less weight.

A percentage option would be great!

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,
