Give progress in percentages only after the third workout or so
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
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,
Carl
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
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.
Defining and renaming training locations
Under the Change equipment tab, it is possible define three different workout locations (gym, home & other). It would be nice, if one could rename the locations. It would be especially nice, if one trains at several different gyms.
Another improvement would be that in addition of defining the weight plates and dumbbells, one could also define which machines there are in the gym.
User generated variations / different machines
In my gym, there are four different leg press machines, and in another gym I train regularily, there are yet another two leg presses from different manufacturers. They might have a different resistance with the same weight because of mechanics, angle or weight of the sled, etc. Still, they are still all under the heading "leg press". The same goes with several pulleys; on one machine the same weight feels heavier than on another.
This creates a problem as the AI won't know whether I made more reps with a certain weight than last time because I am stronger, or because I used a different machine.
One solution would be to let the user create variations of excercises for each different machine, but the AI would treat them as the same exercise when it cames to progression. So, there would be user generated "leg press" for brand A leg press, another for brand B, and so on. However, the AI would treat all of them as "leg press". When the user progresses 1% in one variation, that would tranfer to all of the variations.
Hi Seppo,
Thanks for your suggestion.
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
So, you can already create variations for your leg presses. But as you guessed, progression for custom exercises is independent. I look forward to this getting more votes so we can tie them together as you suggested.
Best,
Carl
Make warm-up adjustments influence the work set weights
There is no reason why the warmup sets (for those who decide or need to use them) should not affect the weights that are suggested in the working sets.
Streamline finishing workouts
When I am on the last rep of the entire workout, let me click something that both completes the rep and completes the workout in one click.
Option to enter calories manually for cardio exercises
It would be good to have the option to manually enter actual calories burnt per the cardio machine into the exercise program as not sure how it calculates this if it doesn’t know how intense you worked out etc.
