Strength blocks automatically added to custom routines
Would love to see the app be able to intelligently add strength focused blocks into custom programs as it does for built in programs.
Increasing the number of set extenders/finishers/techniques
would be great to see some more set finishers/techniques/extenders
Myo reps (5sec negatives), drop sets, 1,5rep method, 21's, ladder sets, cluster sets, Blood flow restriction training
Bicycling, walking during rest days
I believe there should be an option to account for time that is assumed as not utilizing your app.
For example; when your app indicates that I need to rest, I am from the Dr. Muscle weight lifting program, however I am still moving i.e., bicycling, walking etc. And it's all captured on my fitbit.
Look Dr. Muscle, I have a lot of fat to burn, so yes, while I am taking it light on the app for rest, I am moving in other ways. Moving forward, I would like to see an option where miles can be noted in your app during the days that Dr. Muscle prescribed for rest.
Thanks in advance,

The ability to selct lower than 5 reps and higher than 50 reps
It would be great to be able to select all repranges and for instance you could select bench press/military/deadlift/squat 3-7reps to work brute strength this could let you make powerbuilding workouts.
also high burn sets for legs seem to have a lot of evidence of beeing effective, think about 50/100 rep leg presses/curls/extension as a finisher.
Exercise Resets
I've noticed that if I create a custom workout program but I use a previously used exercise like "bench press" which has a long history.
The first time I do this in the new program, it asks me how many times can I do this easily.
Yet it has a lengthy history of this particular default exercise?
Add in Calorie Tracking, Bar Code Scanning, and Reminders When To Eat!
We need the above since Eve could be awesome but right now it has the least number of features on the App Store out of any other nutrition except the customized diet part from a real person which is cool!
Lack of progress
If you go for more than three workouts and you don’t make progress then the app should automatically make adjustments so that you do make progress and have progressive overload.
Hi Peter. In that case, the app already recommends a challenge. Please email support@drmuscleapp.com if you're not getting those, that would be a bug. But if you are getting them and you had something else in mind, please let me know here.
Hi Seppe! It's easy to manually type reps/weights/seconds. Just tap the number and the keyboard will pop up, letting you type in your values. If that doesn't work for you, please let us know what you had in mind. I'm going to mark this one as completed for now.
App Stops Music
When an exercise with a video comes up the app stops Amazon Music from playing in the background. Really don't want to have to switch back and forth between apps every workout.
Jay,
Joseph,
I'm truly sorry about the issue. But good news: we already have a fix in beta. To join the beta, email us at support@drmuscleapp.com. Otherwise, the update should be out in 4-5 days. Again, apologies for the bad experience. We've updated our internal testing process to prevent future issues like that with music players in the future.
Thanks so much for your support and patience,
Carl
Upper Lower Specialization templates
Upper lower body templates that emphasize body parts that need to be brought up while maintenance work on others. Aka Lyle McDonald specialization workouts.
