cycling
if you have cycling as part of your workout it measures this KG which messes up the algorithm - what's the solution to this - I use cycle machines as well as cycling to the gym
Hi James,
Thanks for reporting that issue.
Cardio exercises such as cycling (including both cycle machines and biking to the gym) are automatically excluded from your 1RM progress and don’t impact the algorithm for your progression.
So there’s no need to worry—your cycling won’t interfere with your training stats in the app.
If you have any other questions or need assistance, please feel free to email us at support@drmuscleapp.com directly. We’ll be able to help you more efficiently that way.
Best,

I wish I could combine two workouts into one.
For example, on the split body workouts, I would like to combine 2 of the workouts instead of completing one workout then opting for another workout. This way, I can move around the gym and alternate the bo
Adding a pre-fabricated abs routine to a workout
There are no ab exercises specifically that I can add to any routine. I understand they can be added individually, but it would be nice if there was an option for a 5 or 10 min ab workout to be added to any of the workouts.
multiple protein shakes
Right now there is only an option for one protein shake. I usually have two a day and it is difficult to get the app to add the second one and keep the calories and macros the same.
Favorite meal
I would like the ability to tell the meal planning AI of a favorite meal and it would offer it more often.
Edit warmups prior to starting workout
It would be nice to be able to view the warmup routine and make edits prior to starting the workout.
Hi Chris!
Thanks for your suggestion. It's easy to skip or cancel rest times—just tap "Hide" at the bottom of the fullscreen timer.
You can also tap the timer icon (top-right) during any workout and toggle off "Fullscreen" for a cleaner, quicker setup between exercises.
If you have any other questions, feel free to email us at support@drmuscleapp.com.
Thanks for helping us improve 💪
Android Menu hidden - make it permanent
The android menu is hidden by the app. I need to swipe up from the bottom to access it. This is awkward and often leads to accidental buttons pressed. It would be better if it was permanent, like it is on most apps. At least a setting to turn off "full screen" or what it's called. No need to use that extra centimeter of screen space in this app.
Hi Oskar,
Thanks for reporting that issue. We test quite a bit on Android here (I'm on Android myself) and I have to say, we've never seen this issue before. It's also the first time it's being reported in almost 10 years of Dr. Muscle.
I'm going to leave this open in case other users face the same issue. In the meantime, please review the solutions below. For more help, email us at support@drmuscleapp.com. Dozens of users get an email notification when we post here, so I aim to keep those at a minimum.
Thanks so much for choosing Dr. Muscle,
Carl
