once I save a set weights and reps do not reset
not sure if anyone else is experiencing this. The values of the weight and reps used to reset to the recommended weight and reps once you push save. Now whatever I enter stays there and its not correct. Hard to explain but its looks like a bug.
Timer issue
since warm ups were installed on the app the timer has gone somewhat crazy. I have it set at 40 sec so I can do rest pause sets but it goes on for either 50 sec or 60 sec even tho the timer still says 40 sec. It did it on both the upper and lower body workouts. The only exercise it didnt do it on was bench press.
We've fixed the timer bug that was introduced with warm-up sets. The update is already out on Android and under review by Apple (it should be out in 2-3 days).
If you want a custom timer, make sure you set it before you begin your workout for best results. In other words, do this:
- Update the app
- Open the app
- Tap the timer icon
- Toggle "automatch reps" off
- Set the time you want (e.g. 40 sec)
... and you're all set! You can begin your workout.
Thanks for your help and your patience. I'm marking this bug as fixed.
Rename Custom Workout
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.
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
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
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#.

The app only recommens 1 set
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 ?
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
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
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?
This bug has been fixed with the latest update. Great catch Nick! Thanks for your help.
