Eexercises that you would not use dumbbells on, pop up as "a thing" when asked how much weight you can lift 6 times.

I would find it useful to set the custom rest time between sets under settings at the exercise level (same page as custom reps).

Hi guys!

I got an idea for the app, but would like to know if you're interested before we build it. Would you like to get a weekly email with a summary of what you did that week? Things like:

- How many workouts
- Total sets
- Total reps
- New records (1RM)
- Top 3 exercises you've done the most

And more. 

Would that be of interest to you? If yes, please vote for this feature. Thx!

I like a nice mix of warmup, strength, conditioning, and cool down. I think Dr. Muscle has great potential but a little more guidance into total fitness would be nice.

I would like to see it give more of a summary after your workout about what you need to do next. Goal for next workout, try to add more weight or do more reps for example, just more intelligence in a summary form (words) about your next work out. It does a good job telling me I went up X % etc... but looking forward to my next work out would be nice.

Let me know how many more sets in the exercise after each set.

Sometimes it sais to do that nr of reps with that weight to build muscle faster and after I do it it shows my progression as 0% or even , sometimes, as -1%. Why is this ?

Response from Carl:

The 0% or -1% progression is because the app rounds down its weight to the nearest 2.5 lbs / 1 kg for safety. The default recommendation is always minimum 1% increase, but because the app rounds down, in some cases, you can get 0% or -1%. You should try to keep beating the app (do 1 more rep that recommended), so you'll always get an increase.

Follow-up response from Bogdan:

Ok but let's say that last time I did a bench press with 100 kg.

     The app is now telling me to do 101 kg for 4 reps. Now I don't know if the app is increasing with 1% or not ( here is another problem becouse I can see the result only after I finish my exercise. Only then the app is telling me if I did -1% or 0 or +1%). 
So just to be sure that I will increase I need to do one more rep , wich in this case means a 25% increase wich is allmost impossibe and most important dangerous.
     I think the best solution would be that the app should not round the weight down and should show me EXACTLY the weight needed to increase that 1%.
     Now , If I don't have small plates ( wich by the way , I do ) I will round down to what I have and do one more rep or round up and do one less, wichever is closer.
     The next best thing would be that if the app rounds down the weight it should advise me before the set or it should automatically increase with one more rep.
     For me is very important to get a small increase every workout. I had a lot of waisted sets when the app reccomanded -1% or 0% and I saw the result only after finishing the exercises.

This is no biggie, but I noticed that my 16-or-so week workout streak was broken at the start or the year, although I have had already two workouts this week.
