Lock Screen Timer

Dillon Johnson 3 years ago 0

It would be really helpful if the timer showed up on my lock screen the way other timers do.  Even better would be the timer plus the number of reps for the next set.  That way I can just glance at my phone to check instead of having to unlock it all the time.

Mixed Difficulty Days

Joseph Williams 4 years ago updated by Seppe Hoobergs 4 years ago 1

If it wouldn't interfere with the muscle-building algorithm/research behind the application, it would be nice if there were an option to have easy/medium/hard days intermixed.

Instead of having single days for each level of difficulty, every day a third of your exercises would be on their easy days, a third on medium, and a third on hard.  You could still have each exercise go through its proper progression of the difficulty levels, but your whole body wouldn't be so overwhelmed on hard days.  It would also make scheduling easier.  Some days my workout takes 30 minutes, others 90.

It feels as though this would also help me progress more quickly.  On hard upper-body days, I'm certain that my own overall exhaustion is taking away from my capabilities on the last 1-2 exercises.

For me at least, it would also help mentally.  It is much tougher to get up the motivation to hit the gym when I know I have a hard day facing me.  If every day had a few easy, a few medium, and a few hard exercises, it would be mentally less daunting.

Finally, it would also open up other exercise options.  I tried switching over to the push/pull/legs plan but had to immediately switch back to upper/lower.  There is just no way I'm going to give it my all on deadlifts and squats on the same day.  Both exercises are simply too draining on a whole-body level for me.  But, if one were on easy and the other hard? Then it would be possible.

Easy medium exercises make them based of the normal variant

Seppe Hoobergs 4 years ago updated by Dominique O 3 months ago 1

Making the easy and medium exercises based on the last time you did the normal variant would give a lot more smoother and accurate weights and reps

it will also be an tremendous help with custom workouts and deloading protocols

easy: 5-6reps rir based of the last time you did the normal variant 

medium: 3-4 reps rir based of the last time you did the normsl variant

Add in weekly body composition and photos to measure results!

Eve or Dr Muscle should be working together not in isolation: One of them should save photos and body composition to track or progress!

Show last sessions logs while doing exercises

Eduardo A. 5 years ago 0

Access to last sessions logs while doing exercises. At least the last 3-5, but it should be great to access to all of them.

Only showing the 3 last workouts doesn’t seem enough to me. Example: if I have a deload of 2 weeks it will be hard to interpret the data.

Show all time records after finishing exercise

Martin Havelka 5 years ago updated by Pezking12 8 months ago 1

As I understand the app right now (maybe I'm wrong), the app says "You have achieved a new record" if you beat the previous workout's result. Eg if you lift 100, next workout 90, then 95, the app will say "new record" after the workout with 95. For context, it would be good to also show the very best result in your entire workout history.

Less agressive marketing

Martin Hayes 5 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 5 years ago 3

A prime example is the 5 steps of trying to add things to my final bill when checking out for the app. I'd had a fairly lengthy discussion with marketing about the monthly cost as I'm a student with sorely limited income. After arranging a deal on the price, I then almost quit when trying to complete it due to the Just 4 more clicks through stuff I can't afford before we'll let you buy the one thing you want!

Maybe it's just me?

Thx for your honest feedback guys. I know some people dislike seeing things to add to their order like that. Other people actually add them -- some subscribers switched from monthly to annual that way and are happy customers today. The extra revenue helps us fund better features for the app, so everyone benefits. It's a hard balance to strike. Still, I can understand you didn't like the process, so I'll keep that in mind for when we redesign it. For now, I'm marking this as completed -- moving forward let's keep this forum for feature requests. Cheers.

Fullscreen buttons for feedback on how hard the sets were

P P 5 years ago 0

Hi,

I noticed a recurring pattern of errors on my part recently, when I'm providing the app feedback on how much further
can I push. After finishing the 2 warm up sets and subsequently the first proper work set, a list box appears asking whether I can do more. Invariably, probably because of my shaky hands, I've unintentionally selected the wrong option. I was wondering if squares instead of a text list can be leveraged here.

[Edit: Carl asked for a mock-up.]
