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.
Expand venue/gym functionality
I would like for the venue choosing function to have more effect on the whole training experience. For example when choosing "other" for a workout and swapping exercises, it shouldn't keep those changes for the next workout if you choose venue "gym", only if you again choose "other". Since the two different venues can have totally different equipment and even weight increments.
Also as someone suggested, a temporary function for when you are at a place you know you won't get back to, like a hotel gym.
Also a function to add and rename venues. I can't be the only one going to different gyms with different equipment, weight increments and so on.
Hi Dani,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Until this gets more votes, I have good news. While we don't have a TRX global equipment setting yet, we do have plenty of TRX exercises in the app!
Just tap "..." next to any exercise and search for TRX in the bar at the top to swap in your favorite TRX variations. You can also create custom exercises (with TRX) or even a complete TRX workout with those if you feel like it. The app will apply its smart features to it as well.
Thanks again for your suggestion.
Best,
Carl
Hi Sandra,
Thanks for the suggestion. You can already find mobility exercises in the exercise list, and we also have easy workouts in program levels 4 and up (learn more here: https://dr-muscle.com/easy/).
For accessory work, you can tap Swap next to any exercise to get suggestions for the same muscle group, or tap Add exercise at the bottom of any workout to browse other options.
If you’re looking for something more specific for recovery days, we’d love to hear more. Feel free to add a comment with details to the feature request so others can vote on it too.
All the best,
Carl
Integration with fitbit/google fit
Would have been awesome if you could integrate google fit/fitbit to the app so that they can communicate with each other.
Great news! Your suggestion already has some votes. Please vote on the original at https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/381-integrate-with-google-fit.
Hello Carstens,
I'm guessing you referring to the HIIT cardio option.
To remove it from your workouts, just go to Settings (bottom bar) and toggle if off.
Any other questions, please email us at support@drmuscleapp.com.
Thank you,
Carl
Add an exercise with a date in the past
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?
Thanks for your suggestion. I'm happy to say it's already got some votes! Please add yours to the original at https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/299-ability-to-use-both-kilograms-and-pounds-in-customisation-field.
Feedback on Jumping Jacks data input
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.
