Rep ranges
The app should show a range of reps instead of giving a number like 10 it should show you 10-15 and we should be able to set the rep ranges for each exercise as well as the number of sets. Or at the minimum there should be an option to do that or to have one number for reps and sets. Wouldn’t you agree that it makes things more manageable?
enter weight range for dumbbells in home option
I am sure most folks dont have the mass of dumbbells you would have at a commercial gym. I run into this as well. When setting up home or other options (i.e. hotel gym), there should be a way to set a check box of available dumbbells. This would be helpful based on the workout you are doing to have the app determine set/rep ranges based on the load calculation and historical performance.
Hi Wayne,
I'm happy to saw we already have a setting for that. Here's how you can configure your home gym:
Tap Settings (bottom bar)
Tap Change equipment
Tap Home
Toggle on Activate profile
Enter the dumbbells you have under Dumbbells
And you should be good to go!
If you need more help with that, please email us at support@drmuscleapp.com.
Best,
Carl
rehab body part option
I recently had total knee replacement and have diligently been doing upper body, and now I am shifting back to non body weight exercises for my legs. After two months post surgery I am disproportionately behind on leg capability. Have you considered a recovery/rehab option that a user can check for a bodypart and then opt out when appropriate?
Hi Wayne,
We already have a similar suggestion in our top 5. I'm going to copy your comments there. I suggest you vote for that one!

Feedback on which muscle group fatigued first for any given exercise
1. Is it possible to have feedback on which muscle group fatigued first for any given exercise eg: grip strength fails before legs on rdl.
2. If this is possible then it would be amazing if the program could receive this feedback and suggest a potential swap out or addition focus exercise.
Swapping out mobility exercises
Currently, if you want to swap out an exercise, the app only provides a list of exercises for that body part, but not a list of ones that would be most relevant to the one you’re swapping out. Even more importantly, swapping out mobility exercises is tougher because it just brings up a list of weightlifting exercises, not stretches or mobility movements.
Customise exercises done on different sides
Some exercises are done on one side then the other. A new feature makes it possible to change this so both sides can be trained at the same time. However this is a general seetting. I would like the setting to be available on an individual exercise basis so I can choose which ones to train on both sides at the same time .
Include 1 rep maxes on the workout summary “Congrats” emails
Suggestion, could you also include 1 rep maxes on these “Congrats” emails. They are a better indicator of progress, as you are comparing like with like, unlike here where you are comparing different reps/weights with each other.
Would also be good to have 1 rep maxes on the app itself, rather than have to go online for them.

Detailed, accurate increments at the exercise level (e.g. 4.5, 9, 13, 19 etc.)
To able to programme individual increments for certain machines where the gap between each weight is not the same amount.
Increments on some machines do not go up by a regular amount eg Matrix lat pulldown.
Eg. 4.5, 9, 13, 19 etc.
So the current system doesn’t work on some machines. If we can programme in each weight on a specific machine, this would solve the issue.
More user friendly interface in customizing my workouts
In my opinion the app is great! If there was one thing I’d love to see improved is a more user friendly interface in customizing my workouts. Maybe customizing them on a web site & syncing with the app. Just a thought.
