Show improvement in volume

At the end, of each exercise instead of simply showing the improvement in one rep Max also show whether there was improvement in total volume number of sets and repetitions, taking into account the weight if possible, which should be mathematically is easy.

AI ability to swap excercises to a comparable one

Eli 5 months ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 2 months ago 2

It would be really helpful if the AI chatbot could swap exercises for you. Like if I don't like Zercher Squats or something I could tell the AI and it could edit the training program to replace those with another exercise that uses the same muscle groups. I know it gives options but if it could pick the closest one and sub it in the middle of a workout when I would rather not take the time to look through them all and pick one that would be awesome.

Hi guys,

Thanks much for your suggestions and votes. Since we already have another suggestion like this one open with more votes, I'm going to merge this one into the other at https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/662-ai-ability-to-swap-excercises-to-a-comparable-one.

No action needed on your end.

Thanks for choosing Dr. Muscle, and I look forward to implementing this one.

Best,

Carl

Streak breaks when the year changes

Seppo V 5 months ago updated 5 months ago 2

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.

Freeze training option

Ovi 6 months ago updated by Brett S 6 months ago 1

Sometimes, for various reasons (for example medical), you cannot train. Being in the middle of a program, I think it would be useful to have a "freeze" button, with the addition of the reason and the addition of the mention if any form of training continues and at what frequency and intensity (for example the doctor won't let me in the gym, but allows me to swim); in this way, the application knows where I interrupted the program, for what reason and if I continued any form of training, so that when I return to the gym, it builds the best version of training for me based on the existing data.

Being able to rename exercises once they are in your program

To remind yourself of the different machine used or hint at the modification from original exercise 

Answer

Hi JM,


Thanks for your feedback.


Until this gets more votes, you can achieve something similar by tapping the "..." next to any exercise and selecting "Note." I use it to enter reminders about equipment, position, and other modifications. This way, you can keep track of any changes or specifics related to each exercise.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Undo set

David B 7 months ago 0

The problem I have encountered - since there still isn't support for an Apple Watch app and the screen needs to remain on throughout the workout to maintain progress - is that the current set is marked completed while my phone is in my pocket. This triggers the timer and sometimes it also bumps the difficulty factor, which will affect my future workouts. There needs to be an undo button so that 1. the user is able to reset the timer and 2. the user can modify how difficult the first set was.

Making changes to the inactive sets

Seppo V 8 months ago updated by Benjamin F 3 months ago 3

When I start the workout, I can see all of the exercises, sets, reps and weight for every set. Hower, I cannot make any changes to the weights other than the next set - the first warmup set of the first exercise when you are just starting the workout. It would be nice if one could make changes to weights for the entire exercise before starting and not in the midst of the workout. 

The need can arise for example if you are using a machine that uses odd increments, like when the plates in the weight stack are in pounds but marked in kilos (e.g. 10 lbs is roughly 4,5 kilos but the app uses 2,5 kilo increments).

This might be a minor issue, but fixing it should be also a minor issue, and the end result would be better. 

Answer
Carl Juneau, PhD 8 months ago

Hi again Seppe,

Nick is correct -- in this case, you could simply customize your increments for that exercise under Exercise settings (tap "..." next to the exercise to access).

In many cases, the app dynamically adjusts your weights during your sets, so I'm not sure that letting you change them before you start would turn into a smooth experience. Better try customizing your increments instead. If you have more questions, please email us at support@drmuscleapp.com.


I'm going to leave this open in case more people want to vote for it.


All the best,


Carl

More workouts

Kamilla 9 months ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 9 months ago 1

It would be great to get more workouts. Upper/lower splits 3 to 7 is totally the same. It gets a bit boring to do the same exercises. I know it is possible to change it/swap - but I am using the app to get these programs not to make them myself. 

Answer
Carl Juneau, PhD 9 months ago

Hi Kamilla,

Thanks for your suggestion. I'd be happy to add workouts with different exercises to the app when this gets more votes. But please keep in mind that this might actually slow down your progress (learn more: https://dr-muscle.com/change-routine-exercises).

I understand that changing exercises often can be more fun, so in the meantime, if you want to go that route, you'll find more varied workouts in the PPL and Muscle Split programs. To change program and try them out, do this:

1. Tap the Settings icon on the bottom bar
2. Tap "Change Program"
3. Tap "Workouts"
4. Tap "Gym" or "Home gym"

Thanks again for your suggestion, and for choosing Dr. Muscle.

List custom exercises under their body part

Seppo V 9 months ago 0

I created a new excercise (a leg press variation). In the excercises page, it is located in "my excercises", but not in the "legs".

In my opinion, it would be better if the excercise I created, would appear in the muscle group category. If I'm looking for the exercise, of just scrolling down the list, it would be easier to find it among other leg excercises. This is the more important, the more excercises I have created.

The "my excercises" could still be there, but it would be more user friendly to list all excercises per muscle group. The user created excercises could be marked with an asterisk, for example, if there is a need to separate them from the "official" list of exercises.
