I would recommend adding something to app that makes this process more transparent and intuitive...maybe a pop-up message the first time you open the app after missing a workout, or not completing a workout. The message could be something like "hey, we noticed that you missed your full body workout on (enter date) and this is your first time back since then. Do you want to do that workout now? " Then if you respond yes there could be a follow-on message like "We noticed that normally you have 48hrs rest between workouts and if you exercise today, you won't have the recommended recovery time. Do you want us to shift (enter whatever workouts are affected) for you do the following dates (enter dates).

Of note, after having done my work out a day later than planned, the app didn't shift things for me. I opened it yesterday (Saturday) planning to do my Friday workout and the app didn't recommend anything. It was telling me to wait until Monday to training despite not having worked out since Thursday. Again, my primary issue with the app is that it isn't an intuitive experience if you miss or don't complete a workout. It might be something useful but it isn't clear to me...maybe it's just me.

The weighted twisting crunch video is different than the animation in the exercise. In my opinion it should be the same to be clear how to do it.

In my last workout, there was only one warmup set for each exercise. Even the first exercise - deadlift - had only one warmup set. This is probably because it was a light workout, but still I feel that one warmup set on the first exercise of the workout is too little, especially when the exercise is a heavy compound exercise. And even if the workout itself might be marked light, the weight might still be heavy. 

Naturally, one can do more, but it still would be good it one could add more warmups on the app at the very least, even if the AI would not offer more warmup sets. Especially the last warmup set might be heavier than the backoff set so taking extra warmups will affect the total load of the workout.  Currently, one can only add work sets but not warmup sets.

In another workout app I have used,  the app tells the user, how many reps (s)he has to complete in order to make a new 1RM in the exercise. That made the trainee to make that extra push in order to make a new record. It might not be obvious, how many reps to target if the weight varies; e.g. if the previous 1 rep record was 7 reps with 85 kilos, how many reps I'll have to manage with 60 kilos?

Currrently, the Dr Muscle app just tells what was my result the last time, but if the weight is dirrerent, that does not necessarily tell much.

I just started my second macrocycle; e.g. today I did the Lower body 7A medium workout second time. On the first workout the AI gave me 80 kilos on the deadlift as a working weight. I increased the weight to 120 kg for reps. Today when I got to do the Deadlift (medium) again, the AI had increased the weight to 85 kg - increased the weight from the originaali 80 kilos,  but it was a significant reduction in weight from the weight I actually used. 

i used the weight suggested by the AI and did few extra reps to what the AI suggested, but my result was almost 20 percent down to the previous medium deadlift. 

It seems that the AI won't adapt to the user made changes in weight. 

It would be helpful if one could rearrange the exercises in the midst of an ongoing workout with drag & drop. The AI could even take the new order of exercises into account when determining my progress in the workout. 

For example: if the program says squat, then hack squat, and then leg press, but I'll have to move the squat after leg press, this would probably affect my squatting, compared to squatting with fresh muscles.

For my age and stage of life, I think I am after an app that responds to the data collected through my Apple Watch, so, if I have a poor recovery, I don’t have to think about it, the app just adjusts the workout accordingly.

When I open the app and perhaps start to examine my upcoming workout etc, after few seconds the AI chat screen is forced open, and I have to go back to my home screen to continue whatever I was doing. This is somewhat annoying, especially if I have already seen the AI chat several times; the first time after the previous workout, and after that every time I open the app.

This is not a big deal, but again it is annoying. If I want to see the AI feedback, I can open the chat screen myself when I want to, but if I am forced to interrupt what I was doing to see the same feedback yet again, it starts to get under my skin at some point.

I'm on my first mesocycle in Dr. Muscle, so it might be that the AI will correct this in the future cycles, but I feel strange that the Easy workout is way harder than the previous Medium workout. For example, in one exercise I managed 7 reps with 90 kilos in Medium workout (with 1-2 RIR). The AI suggests that I'll perform 11 reps with the same weight on the following Easy workout. On another exercise the weight was again the same, and the reps were 7-11-12 (Medium-Light-Heavy). 

I would understand higher reps with a lighter weight on a Light workout and lower reps with a heavier weight on the Heavy workout. But now it gives me the same weight throught, and the target reps are higer on the Light workout than what I was able to perform on the Medium workout. 

When I have used an exercise for the first time, the app congratulates me for an increase of 3500% in weight, or something similar, when in reality there is no previous record for the exercise. It would be way better, if the app would just say that there is not enough data to determine the progress (and even then, it would give the percentages only after the third workout or so, because on the first workout, the weight might be too light and it can take some time to find the right weight). For example, at the moment the AI tells me that my average 1 RM increase has been 3931% over the past few weeks.
