Swap worklut days

Matthew V 4 months ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 4 months ago 1

There are some weeks where I may not be able to do my normal chest workout on a Monday or back on Tuesday. It would be great to have a way to move days around. Both for a single pair and for the entire cycle.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your suggestion. Until this gets more votes, you can:

- Change your workout days under Settings

- Create a custom program with the days exactly how you want them for the entire cycle

- Open any workout, scroll down, and tap Skip workout to do the next one in your program instead

Your progress will not be affected.

I hope this helps. Thank you so much for choosing Dr. Muscle.

Best,

Carl

Deload/Challenge Resets Entire Lift Instead of Progressing

Bug Report: Deload/Challenge Resets Entire Lift Instead of Progressing


Issue:

After completing a set and selecting Deload or Challenge, the app reloads the entire lift instead of continuing from the next set.


Expected Behavior:

After completing a set and selecting Deload, the app should apply the deload parameters to the next set without restarting the entire lift.


Additional Issue:

It’s unclear whether the completed set and reps before selecting Deload or Challenge are logged in history. I need to check if the set is recorded or if it is lost when the lift reloads.


Impact:


  • Slows down workouts by forcing users to restart the lift.
  • Potential loss of set data if not properly logged.
  • Interrupts expected workflow for deloading within a session.



Would be helpful to confirm whether this is already reported or if a fix is planned.

Better progression chart

Seppo V 6 months ago 0

The app tells me that my strength is up usually 100-150 percent from week to week. With this rate, I should be breaking world records in powerlifting soon, but I don't think this is going to happen. This is propably due to the app comparing total weight volume, instead of (estimated) 1RM in each exercise, which would be better value in determining progress. 


Also, during workouts, the app gives me weight x reps, and tells me how much this is compared to previous best (estimated 1 RM) - but actually it does not compare to previus best, but to a recent best or something similar.

For example, today I made progress in all exercises except one, but the after action report at the end of the workout told me that I broke the record only in two exercises. I think this is misleading, and I would get the extra boost if I knew how many reps I should make to break the record.

Confirmation prompt before leaving workout screen

Most of times when I put my phone back in my pocket to do my set I end up having to reload my workout by accident because it's moved to another screen while in my pocket.

Add workout name to history

It would be nice to quickly reference my last workout's name in the history section. Right now it only logs exercises, not workout names.

In Progress, "info" icon, information might have a math or sanity issue for new members

BruceB 7 months ago updated 7 months ago 0

I'm new to Dr. Muscle and I suspect lack of data to be the root of the problem.  I go to preview tomorrow's workout. At the top of the screen showing different exercises, is an "In Progress" with an "i" icon. Clicking the icon displays a pop-over text box.  It says I've progress 14108%.  Might be more credible to put a sanity check in the software and if unrealistic math results, say "we're establishing your baseline over <insert right number> of workouts" or just leave the paragraph out.

Strength phase fitting into the cycle length

Seppo V 8 months ago 0

I'm currently on up/low split level 7 and I'm 9 workouts before I level up. Today I started a new cycle (with lower body 7A medium workout). After I was finished, the app told me that starting from my next workout, I'll begin a strength phase, as is supposed to happen every time before going up a level.

This is all fine, but why didn't the strength phase start at the beginning of the new cycle, and why it does not fit into the workout schedule as the strength phase is finished at the middle of the cycle? Is It really necessary that the strength phase is exactly 9 workouts long, or would it be possible to program it to fit into the workout schedule?

As the cycle in my current program is 6 workouts (lower body & upper body all have medium, light, and heavy workouts), perhaps the strength phase could take 6 or 12 workouts? And in PPL level 7 program, the cycle is 9 workouts. On Muscle split program, the cycle is 6 workouts long, etc. You get the picture.
