Rename Custom Workout

Marc David 8 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 8 years ago 1

The ability to rename a custom workout.  I created one, then realized I should change the name.  But it doesn't seem like I can?  I would have to delete it and then re-create it.  There's no obvious option to edit a custom workout.

Answer

Hi Marc,


Yes, you can rename and edit custom workouts. Simply swipe left (on Apple) or long press (on Android). Then, you'll have the options to:


- Edit

- Rename

- Delete


We're working on an update right now to make that more clear. You'll see three small dots (...) next to each exercise and workout. Taping the dots will open the options (edit, rename, delete).


Best,


Carl

Copy and edit workouts

Nick Monastiriotis 8 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 8 years ago 1

For multi level workouts and exercises in rotation, consider a 'Copy/Edit' option for the whole workout -if someone wants to make his/her own L2 workout(s), it would be much easier to make it with the Copy/Edit option based on your recommendation, if s/he is to change 1-2 exercises only per session, rather than making them from scratch again, perhaps?  What do you think?

Add my own new exercise while in workout menu

Add a new exercise while being within the workout itself

Answer

Thanks for voting for that feature -- it's done! In fact, it's been live for some time now. To add an exercise during a workout, just tap Edit workout (top left). Now would be a great time to suggest and vote for our next feature. If you'd like to do that, please visit: https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1-submit-your-feedback/topics#. Really appreciate your support and advice. Thanks!

The app only recommens 1 set

Bogdan Filip 8 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 8 years ago 2

It's nice beating the app :))


But it's strange that for a lot of my exercises the app only recommens 1 set. I preffer to do 3 sets for each exercise. Why is it saying to do just one set ? Should I follow it or just do my regular 3 sets ?

Answer

This has been improved upon in the latest update. For more details, check out: http://drmuscleapp.com/news/building-muscle/. I'm marking this as "Completed."

Restrict rep range for some exercises

Nick Monastiriotis 8 years ago updated by Michael Robards 8 years ago 2

There are a few exercises, like, for example, the Deadlift (or the Olympic Lifts and derivatives) which is a bit risky (for lack of a better term) to use for, say, more than 6 reps (due to technique, etc)?  Could a distinction be made perhaps for such exercises?  Not sure...

 

I just did some Deadlifts yesterday (with a ridiculously low load, just exercising, but that's not the point, lol) and saw 11 reps (which is fine based on the DUP, of course), but it just stuck with me...

Inconsistency in new exercise setup

Nick Monastiriotis 8 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 8 years ago 6

When I enter a new exercise of mine, it asks for a 6RM. If I ignore it (e.g., I'll test it next time I go to the gym) and click on this new exercise straight on the workout while in the gym, it still asks for what I have done in the last 3 workouts (and not the 6RM question, I mean).  Is this correct or a bug-like?

Answer

This bug has been fixed with the latest update. Great catch Nick! Thanks for your help.

Workout suggestion for HIIT

Aurel 4 days ago 0

Hello Dr. Muscle, 


It would be great to have workout suggestion for HIIT on the same principle of weightlifting. I absolutely love your app and the fact that I have the impression that there’s a coach behind me but that stop when I’m at the HIIT part. Thank you

More gym profiles and renamable

Oskar W 2 weeks ago 0

I would love more gym profiles and the option to rename them.

Why not the option to add as many gyms as you need?

And the posibility to manage each gym, what kind of machines are available and the weight increments of each gym!


I have a small gym I mostly go to with old equipment but I also go to a bigger chain sometimes that has more options to do exercises I prefer. Similar equipment also have different weight increments and totally different scales.

The equipment also differ between different locations of the big chain.


So I would like to setup my gym profiles and rename them to something like:

Small gym

Big gym north

Big gym south

Home

Other (for one time places)

Superset: Exercise focus and timer doesn’t change

Eric J 4 weeks ago 0

When selecting multiple exercises to superset, the timer and focus should be on the next exercise in the superset and not the next set in the primary exercise
