Add exercises for each muscle group providing alternatives / categorize exercises by body part

Stéphan Gervais 8 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 6 years ago 5

1) More exercises

2) Categorize exercises by muscle group

* * *

Quand on veut sur faire un programme personnalisé, il serait agréable de pouvoir sélectionner des exercices dans une banque de données. Genre quand tu sélectionnes ton premier exercice il apparaîtrai une fenêtre avec plusieurs exercices selon les différents groupes de muscle. Ca serait vraiment génial et beaucoup plus rapide que de les inscrire un à un.

Fullscreen mode for timer

Michael Robards 8 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 6 years ago 9

Maybe have the timer display larger, perhaps only when running. I have bad vision and don't use my glasses at the gym. So it is very hard to see that tiny number in the corner!

Supersets agonist/antagonist

Seppe 4 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 1 year ago 2

It would be great if the app had an 'superset' option combining 2 exercises together with optimal rest time for supersers between sets.

somewhere between 90-120sec?

and fully automates and alternate sets between the 2 exercises which you combined trough the superset option.

Show your history for an exercise as you do it

André Ferreira 5 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 4 years ago 2

I miss the ability to view your history from the last 3-4 workouts in a specific exercise within your current workout menu.

In Dr. Muscle you have to go to history menu then search for the specific exercise you want to check the history.

Attached I’m showing you an image of what I trying to explain. This would improve the app.

Specify rep ranges for different workout days and exercises

Peter Naughton 7 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 6 years ago 2

I think that the app needs the ability to specify rep ranges for different workout days and for different exercises instead of having to make the changes on the fly so that its more permanent because  I have a program that is for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and Monday is heavy and should be lower rep ranges and Wednesday is light and should be high rep ranges and Friday is moderate and should be somewhere in the middle, and exercises like deadlifts should have some restrictions on rep ranges to avoid injury but some exercises can be higher and some you may want to do a 5X5 with just as and example.

Answer
Carl Juneau, PhD 6 years ago

Previously, you could customize reps at the global and exercise levels. Now, you can also customize reps at the workout level. To do that, tap "..." and "more" next to any workout.

- Open the store app on your phone
- Search for Dr. Muscle

Offline access

remonemundle 7 years ago updated by Éric Boucher 6 years ago 4

Creating an offline version of the app that can update at intervals might be a good idea. I still continue to struggle with spotty internet connectivity because my gym is far down below ground level. I still am committed to using the app though because I like it so much. It comes at a price.... occasionally I have to check out of the gym, go outside and check back in for an exercise to update!!

Answer
Carl Juneau, PhD 6 years ago

Thanks for voting for this feature! Dr. Muscle now supports offline access. Now you only need to connect before and at the end of your workout (you can even connect before you leave the house and when you return)!

Here’s how:

  1. Open your workout
  2. Open each exercise and tap “Begin exercise”
  3. Navigate between exercises by tapping “Superset”
  4. Once all your exercises are loaded, you can get offline, work out, and save your sets
  5. Once you’ve saved all your sets, get back online and “Finish and save” each exercise

The update is already available to all users on Android and under final review by Apple (give it 2-3 days). To update, open the app store on your phone, search for Dr. Muscle, and tap "update".
