Add an exercise with a date in the past

mcarroll sln2008 1 month ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 1 month ago 1

When I pay gor a session with a personal trainer he is the one that chooses the exercises, weight, sets and repetition that I do. I have the specifics pnly after the session for me to log in the app but with a date in the past. I mow have 12 of these sessions to add but can’t enter a date in the past and must “use” the app to execute these sessions. Is there a way that I can log them with the vorrect dates in the past and flag them as complete based on the actuals reps that I did rather than having to execute them one by one in the app. If not, how am I supposed to record these tupes of sessions?

new x.dr-muscle app, better use of wide screen real estate.

BruceB 2 months ago 0


I have one suggestion for the workout area for wide screens (i.e. notebooks or tablets, not phones). In the downloaded public app I'm using:

  • there's a small title of the exercise at the top of the page. It'd be nicer if that were bigger / easier to see, and persistent (doesn't scroll off the screen).
  • The main body of the page, with the picture of the exercise and then the list of the sets, currently it is in a long list dictated by the small screens of phones. For wide screens, my preference would be:
    • to make the main area two columns.
      • Left column is:
        • Picture and link to instructions
        • <new> A user note field where I can remind myself of something about this exercise I need to improve or focus on. I can edit this note field in the middle of the workout.
      • Right column is the list of set information.

Feedback on Jumping Jacks data input

RJ1 4 months ago 0

Hi there!


When performing jumping jacks, I find the current input method unclear. At the moment, it seems the app requires me to enter the time (or rate?) for each set. However, it would feel more intuitive to input the number of jumping jacks completed instead.

By tracking reps, the AI could calculate my work rate (reps per minute) and then adjust the duration of future sets accordingly. For example:

• If I complete 60 jumping jacks in one minute, the AI could increase the next set to 90 seconds.
• If I then manage only 70 in that longer set, the work rate has dropped, so the AI could reduce the time to 70 seconds next time.
• If I later complete 75 in 70 seconds, the AI could increase the time to 80 seconds.


This is just a rough example, but the principle is that reps-based input would allow the AI to adapt training more logically and transparently.

Contrast Set - Strength Focus

Zenfool 4 months ago 0


I’d like to suggest adding a Contrast Set feature for strength-focused users. I think it is an effective way to potentiate the nervous system — use a single heavy rep (85-92% 1RM) at the end of the warmup sequence to prime improved performance in the subsequent working sets. This approach maintains neural familiarity with near-maximal loads, enhances motor unit recruitment, improves rate of force development, and potentially increases power output in working sets. I imagine implementation as a toggle option inside individual exercises as a way to add the functionality without disrupting the core methodology of the app (I reserve the right to have greatly underestimated the technical difficulties of my suggestion). I do appreciate any consideration, thanks.

App crash

Diablo101 4 months ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 4 months ago 1

App crashes in the middle of a workout if I turn off the screen. At times in the workout if I leave the screen on to prevent the crash, the app will not respond and glitch such as not recognising touch, or bottom menu bar would disappear, forcing the app to close. Open it and have to go back into the workout. This happened during EVERY exersize in my 9 exersize routine.

cycling

James N 7 months ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 7 months ago 1

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

Answer
Carl Juneau, PhD 7 months ago

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,


Carl
