User defined weight / progression

Seppo V 8 months ago updated 8 months ago 2

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.

Rearranging the exercises / drag & drop

Seppo V 8 months ago updated 8 months ago 2

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.

Hello Seppo,

Thanks for your suggestion. Did you know you can already reorder exercises during your workouts? Here's how:


Open any workout

Tap the pen icon (top-right)

Tap Continue

Reorder your exercises as you please


I'm going to keep this open in case it gets more votes for a smoother integration during workouts, and your other comments as well.


Thank you so much for choosing Dr. Muscle,


Carl

Responds to Apple Watch data

karina_rob 8 months ago 0

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.

AI chat screen

Seppo V 8 months ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 8 months ago 1

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.

Why Easy workout is harder than Medium workout?

Seppo V 8 months ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 8 months ago 2

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.

Give progress in percentages only after the third workout or so

Seppo V 9 months ago 0

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.

Add single rear delt pull

Eduardo V 9 months ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 9 months ago 1

I found difficult to find mind muscle connection or find the required equipment for rear delt exercise.

Could you add this one: (min 3:07). Not sure how it is exactly called but it could be single rear delt pull

Hi Eduardo,

Thanks for your suggestion. I've added it to our roadmap. In the meantime, it's easy to add any number of custom exercises to your account. Here's how:

  • Open the app
  • On your home page, scroll all the way down
  • Tap Exercises (bottom left)
  • Tap the big plus button at the bottom right corner

And you'll be good to go!

Thanks so much for your support,

Notes not showing in workout history

When I write notes on an excercise during a workout, the notes are there when I check it during the ongoing workout, but they are nowhere to be seen in workout history.

Reset start date

Seppo V 9 months ago updated 9 months ago 1

It seems that I have downloaded the app and created an account 50 weeks ago, but I have used the app and done the workouts less than two weeks (5 workouts so far). However, the AI seems to think that I have been training for almost a year on the program, and it keeps adjusting my caloric intake etc based on that and comparing my progress I have made in two weeks to the progress I should have done in a year.


Now that does not confuse me much, as I know where I stand, but it still would be nice to be able to reset the start date. I tried reconfiguring my account, but it did not change the start date.
