Modify Rep Ranges for a specific excercis in a workout
Hello!
Is there any Chance to use the new Feature with Single exercises in the Workout? For example :
Squat with 6 to 12. Leg curl with 15 to 20?
Without changing the Setting Every Time? Only once..?
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done!
You can now customize settings at the exercise level. Tap "..." next to an exercise to customize it. If you're on Android, you can update right away. If you're on Apple, you'll need to wait 2-3 more days (it's under final review). To update:
- Open the store app on your phone
- Search "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!

Body weight (scale) measurements and bodyfat % estimator
weight measurements - there are scales in the gym, might be nice to be able to record that
bodyfat % estimator: ok i'm pushing the boat out here, but as with recording weight measurements you could have similar entries for caliper measurements, then your AI can do the donkey work of calculating bodyfat %. It doesn't matter so much that the calculation can be inaccurate as it is the progression that lets you know how you are progressing, and people judge their final destination not by a number but by how they look in the mirror.
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's in beta! We've already implemented body weight tracking and coaching (with goals, calories, and macros). A few of you also requested we add bodyfat % tracking and estimates. If that's still a priority for you, please vote for that feature here: https://muscle.userecho.com/en/communities/1/topics/431-track-and-estimate-bodyfat

Muscle groups should be divided even more
Muscle groups like the back should be divided into lats, upper back, mid back and lower back for more targeted exercises, but that applies to all muscle groups, such as chest, biceps, triceps, legs, core, shoulders etc.
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's in beta! From the announcement:
You asked. We listened. With this update, we introduce the “Lower back, glutes & hamstrings” body part. These muscles often work together. So much so, they’re often called the “posterior chain”. So, it made sense to group them as one. This group now includes exercises we previously listed as “back” or “legs”. Like the deadlift and its variations. Splitting up body parts is one of our top requested feature, so if there are other body parts you’d like to see in Dr. Muscle, now’s the time to speak up. Let us know on our feedback site at https://muscle.userecho.com/en/communities/1/topics/284-muscle-groups-should-be-divided-even-more. Thanks!

Thanks for voting for this feature -- level 1 is in beta! Levels 2-7 are coming soon. From the announcement:
Push/Pull/Legs split program is one of our top requested features, so I’m super excited to announce it today! With this version coming up in beta, you’ll be able to select Push/Pull/Legs from the list of gym or home gym workouts under the Exercise tab. With this split, you’ll be training 6 times a week, hitting each body part twice a week. It’s an advanced split best suited for lifters who have a lot of time on their hand—and who want to squeeze every last bit of gains from their workouts by training more often and performing more exercises in a fresh state.

Improve app speed
As a product manager in tech myself, I have a piece of generic feedback which I think should be on the top of your list of priorities: app performance and speed. When you're using something daily even the slightest delays in loading can get quite frustrating. Quite often, the app will have to load for seconds when switching between screens or going from one exercise to another, even finishing sets will sometimes cause noticeable delays. I totally understand that it's still a beta app and there are many other important features to add, but speed and performance, quick loading and overall "smoothness" will improve the user experience tenfold! Please consider working more on that in the future :)

You can now work out with fewer and shorter load times. In our tests, the app now loads 36% faster (opening a workout, doing 4 sets of an exercise, and saving it now takes 31 seconds, down from 48).
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
We have more speed improvements coming up, but I'll mark this suggestion as completed today. 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#.

Choose different weight increments for barbell, dumbbell and pulley on settings
Choose different weight increments and min weights for barbell, dumbbell and pulley on settings. (This one is important, but I have an alternate solution to edit these numbers in each exercise after I built the workout).
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's in beta! From the announcement:
Excited to announce TWO of our top requested features. With this beta update, you’ll be able to hear yours truly say how many reps you have to do when your rest timer ends (e.g. “5 reps” instead of the usual “ding”). Toggle this on by tapping the timer icon top-right during any workout. Also, you can now customize your equipment in full for plates, dumbbells, and pulleys. This gives you full control over your increments, min, and max weights for exercises using those implements. Big thanks to all who voted for these features!

Preview upcoming workouts
It would be interesting to have a calendar where you can preview your upcoming workouts. For instance, it I'm on the Up/Down-workout, and I'm doing 2 day on and 1 day off, then it would be interesting to see more workouts than just the next one. I would be able to see that at the end of this month, I will do 100 kg x 10 reps in bench if I continue to progress according to Dr Muscle, while I'm today doing 100 kg x 6 reps for instance.
Does it make any sense?
Thanks for voting for this feature—calendar was released a few weeks ago, and workout reminders are now in beta! You can now choose to get reminders via email or notifications on your phone.

Exercise Complete Visual
After you finish an exericse (sets, reps) you select "Finish Exericse" You're back to the workout screen. Would be helpful to show Bench Press has a check next to it, indicating you did the sets for that and now it's onto the next exercise.
This one was released today! I'm marking it a completed.
The update is live on Android and Apple. To get it, simply update via Google Play or the App Store app on your phone.

Account for longer periods of rest / time off between workouts
Really loving the app.
Is there an accounting for longer periods of rest days? As a singer and actor I find lifting on days I'm singing to be detrimental to my level of performance or if I'm traveling for concerts there may be times when there may be a week away from the gym. Just curious.
Best, Ciarán

Option to EDIT in History
Also, in order to avoid a -1% change and a subsequent deload (I mean, in cases it's not needed in reality -the -1% change issue discussed in a different thread), I went back to history to edit the sets and add 1 rep to each set (which I actually did anyway) and realised there is no EDIT option (only the DELETE now, of course).
So, the option EDIT in History?
Thanks for voting for this feature! Dr. Muscle now lets you edit your history.
The update is already available to all users. To update, open the app store on your phone, search for Dr. Muscle, and tap "update".
