Targeted Functional/Specialty Development
I'd like a designed functional workout section that targets specific activities (I.e. Baseball, Football (American), Soccer, Military Service, Swimming, and so-on…). A good example would be this, again, opinion:
Target application: Baseball - Swinging/Core
Tricep Rope Rotations (Basic Wood Chop with a different ending angle to resemble a baseball/softball swing. Stabilizer support exercise would be focused on the wrist and forearms on this one.
Extended Stiff Arm Cable Rotations - Self explanatory
Extended Arm Cable Shuffle - slight bent knees
One Knee Isometric Core Hold
This workout could be applied to other applications but its specific audience is baseball/softball/tennis. Each Target area or functional specific area could have multiple areas. Baseball could be; Swinging (Core/Upper), Speed (Legs/Cardio), Throwing (Full Body) etc…
I hope this is a good suggestion or something I could provide a further explanation too. I don’t like wasting people’s’ time with bland ideas.
Sharing workouts
I think there should be an option for the users to share workouts they have created and made available to choose as an option when selecting their workouts.
Kudos for the video fix!
Hey there
I want to congratulate the dev team on massively improving the exercise video experience! Did a workout today and had to check an exercise video, fully expecting to jump to a different view and have the video awkwardly open sideways (as it's always been).. but this time, it opened right on top of my current workout and in potrait mode.
Such a simple thing but it made me smile. Far better than it was before!
Bravo!
Cheers
Thanks for your suggestion Michael. While we work on adding this one to the list, you can easily add any number of custom exercises to your account. Here's how:
- Tap Exercise (bottom bar)
- Tap Exercises
- Tap the big plus button at the bottom right corner
And you'll be good to go!
An option for 50%-75% workout intensity.
Option for reduced intensity at those intervals if recovery feels slow or minor tweak occurred during rest day. This would not affect future workout calculations or adaptations and just be treated as a one off lower intensity workout.
Hi Jon,
Good news: the feature you requested is already available in the app. You can achieve a 50%-75% workout intensity by tapping "..." next to any exercise, and selecting "Swap". Then, choose the same exercise with a medium or easy variation. To return to your original workout, tap "Undo swap" or go to Edit workout (top left) and select Restore workout (top right).
This functionality allows for lower intensity sessions based on your recovery needs without impacting future workout calculations or adaptations. You can use for all or just some of your exercises, and choose easy or medium on a case by case basis depending on your needs.
I will mark this request as completed for now. If you need more help, please email us at support@drmuscleapp.com.
Thank you for your feedback!

Add more machine exercises
Include in the list of exercises the resistance machines that Planet Fitness has. Note that Planet Fitness has somewhere around 33% market share in the U.S., with around 2000 gyms.
Determine if I should change my training frequency
It is a shame that the app cannot determine over time whether I should increase or decrease my training frequency.
Currently the app recommends 3 sessions per week, respecting 1 day on 1 day off. But sometimes she also advises me to add a 4th session (without changing my frequency)... which makes it a mismatch with the recommended rest days.
