Add a description of each program

Thomas JK 4 weeks ago 0

For example, regarding ”Workouts” options in “GYM”, I would suggest a brief description of the purpose and focus of each workout option (e.g., “Abs, Legs & Glutes, Cable Conquest Level 1, Full-Body, Level1, etc.). Then, when you click on one, for instance, “[Gym] Abs, Legs & Glutes Focus Level 1” you would see a more in-depth description about the goals and purpose of this workout, a list of the exercises that are included, and how this level differs from the other levels in this focus.

Improved Visual Feedback for "Save Set" and Profile Selection Buttons

James B 4 weeks ago 0

The issue:

When I press the “Save Set” button during a workout, there’s only a subtle cue that anything happened—mainly that the app moves to the next set, assuming you remember exactly which set you were on. Often after a lift, my hands are a bit shaky, and it’s hard to tell if I actually tapped the button or just touched the screen. Sometimes the screen scrolls slightly instead of registering the button press, leaving me unsure if the set was saved or not.


What I’m suggesting:

There should be a more distinct visual confirmation when tapping “Save.” A change in button appearance—like dimming, a flash, or a brief lock/freeze of the screen—would help confirm that the action was registered. Even a split-second visual “pressed” state would give useful feedback.


Additional feedback:

The same applies to the gym/home/other profile selection pop-up at the start of a workout. Right now, when I tap one of those options, the screen transitions quickly, but there’s no clear feedback showing what profile was actually registered before it disappears. A brief highlight or animation when selecting the location would help prevent uncertainty or mis-taps.

Ability to customize exercise illustrations

Israel P 1 month ago 0
  1. Some exercises have a short animation to illustrate the exercise and others don’t. Rather than adding exercises and equipment, could be nice to have the option to “upload” a picture of the equipment I’m using to perform a specific exercise. Like adding a photo of “leg curl” equipment to the leg curl exercise (sorry about the low quality of my below example but purpose is mainly to give you a concept’s idea:

Anyway, I hope you find above useful, and I’ll be happy to elaborate in case needed.

Swap worklut days

Matthew V 2 months ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 2 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.

Answer

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

A way to see if exercise has 1RM or not

Matthew V 2 months ago 0

It would be greatly helpful when doing an exercise swap or adding a new exercise to a workout, to denote which exercises already have data and which do not.  Could be color coded in the selection screen or a small icon maybe.

Reps drop ot on following sets when determining max

Matthew V 2 months ago updated by Nick M 2 months ago 2

Hi All. Not sure if this is a bug or by design.

hhad a number of new exercises in my workout yesterday so they were doing the 5 rep max. I had 4 sets of 5 planned. The first set was too light, so I did more. It autocalcukated the following sets at 2 reps each. Definitely felt like the wrong direction. 

was offline at the time.

Need to see a and b workouts

Matthew V 2 months ago updated 2 months ago 4

I am doing a push/pull/legs split with an A and B (6 days). 


I need a way to see what exercises are selected for the A and B workouts for the week, so if I need to make a exercise swap I am not selecting a duplicate exercise. 

For example, in my push A workout it has selected a standing military press. My gym only has a smith machine, DB, and a shoulder machine. I swapped the standing military press for a DB press, but if my push B workout already has DB shoulder work, then the workout loses some variance. 

Currently, I am unable to check the other workout to compare. If the Ai will take that into account, then it is no problem, but if it is not smart enough to adjust the A and B workouts, then that could be a problem.

Hi guys! 

Nick, thanks for chiming in.

Matthew, Nick is right on point. And you're right about the swap icon, I look forward to us updating it. I was thinking of actually having a small label next to the exercise's name, with "Swap". Since it's not that long of a word. You mention it doesn't look like a substitution icon. Could you give us an example of an icon you'd like to see?

Thanks so much for choosing Dr. Muscle,

Always display current exercise name while going through sets

Robert D 2 months ago 0

Not a deal breaker on how useful the app is, but would be nice addition to know the exercise I’m currently on displayed at the top while scrolling through the sets. Typically it’s because I’ve scrolled to the warmup set, and my short term memory makes me question (name any exercise that has multiple variations) …. For example…was it narrow underhand grip pull ups, chin ups or pull ups I’m doing now. Then I end up scrolling back to the title and then back down to the sets
