I find the AI chat to be extremely helpful. Each chat remains in history. Some chats I would like to retain and others delete. It would be nice to have a way to delete a specific chat.
Skip an exercise during workout
Ability to skip an exercise for that session while in a workout… adding skip option to exercise menu drop-down.
Maybe not feeling it today, short on time, the muscle hurt that exercise would work, etc…
you can do it now sort of,… but if you skip an exercise in the list, it keeps opening after you complete an exercise below that one.
Shawn, good news! I'm happy to say it's eay to skip an exercise in Dr. Muscle.
While you have your exercise open, scroll down and look at the bottom of its sets. You should see a Skip exercise button (bottom-right). Just tap it, and you'll be good to go!
I'm going to mark this as completed. Feel free to suggest and vote for more features. We truly appreciate it.
Dr. Muscle makes up numbers
After my last workout, the app told me my 1RM for deadlift went from 49kg to 51kg. I lifted no more than 35kg. This happens for almost all exercises.. completely wrong numbers, they are all far too high.
The AI in the app agrees with me. Consider the screenshots.
Hi Ismar,
Thanks for taking the time to report that issue. I'd like to apologise for the incorrect response by our AI here.
To clarify, your 1RM is the maximum amount of weight you could lift for just one repetition. So, if you're able to deadlift 35 kg for say, 10 reps, your 1RM would be around 50 kg. Fewer reps, more weight. Makes sense?
When you dig into it, predicting your 1RM is quite hard. In fact, there are over a dozen formulas for doing so, and none is perfect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-repetition_maximum).
At Dr. Muscle, we use one we've developed ourselves. It's optimized for progress across a wide range of reps, as the evidence suggests that changing reps every workout leads to faster gains (learn more: https://dr-muscle.com/build-muscle-faster#1).
In the end, what truly matters is the progress you are making, even if we cannot accurately predict your true 1RM. By observing other lifters and the results they have achieved with our program, I am confident that you are moving in the right direction. Feel free to check out https://dr-muscle.com/reviews/ for more information and inspiration from other lifters. You got this 💪
By the way, if you notice more bugs, please continue to send them at support@drmuscleapp.com. I can see you've already reported a few, and that the team has already followed up with you on 3 of those. I can confirm we're making progress, and that you should hear back from us soon with updates. We do our best to keep this site for feature requests only.
Thank you so much for trusting us with your fitness,

Wrong exercises loaded when starting a workout
When selecting a different equipment profile (transitioning from gym to home) to start a workout, the app loads exercises that don't align with the equipment available at home. I've been correslonding with support on this for the last 45 days and the issue was first reported in August 2023 - there has been no fix. See demonstration here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/5cUAJgddeGA1h5Er7

Audio prompt to tell me not only the reps but also the weight
9/10. The only thing that i would like to have added is the prompt to tell me not only the reps but the weight.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for reporting that issue. We're on it. Someone from the team will be in touch shortly by email. In the future, please send all bug reports to support@drmuscleapp.com.
Best,

Video instructions
Just an idea for the video instructions to be under one press of a button instead of having to hit three dots and then find it at the bottom / usually my hands are shaking during workouts 😂

Include Using Chains for X% of the Weight
I'm struggling at the bottom of many compound lifts (bench, squat, etc). This is especially problematic because I never have a spotter to help me push through those parts. I've decided to start using heavy weightlifting chains to provide adaptive weight changes through the lift and help prevent injuries at the bottom of the lift when I'm most susceptible. Hopefully, it will also help me challenge myself at the top of lifts without being overloaded at the bottom.
My (admittedly amateur) research tells me that the chains should be 10-20% of the weight in the lift. It would be nice if the application could consider this as an advanced option. Being able to provide the application with the specific chain weights I have available, just like I provide it with the plates I have available, would be great.
I have no doubt that my plan to replace 10-20% of the weight with chains on a few specific lifts will be sub-optimal when compared to what Dr. Muscle could do. I would love to have the application tell me that for the next lift, I should add X pounds of weight plates and Y pounds of chains.
Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your great question and for sharing your idea about using heavy weightlifting chains to enhance your lifts. I appreciate your enthusiasm for incorporating this advanced option into the application.
I'm always eager to receive feedback and ideas from users like yourself. We always takes into consideration the suggestions that receive the most votes from our user community, and I look forward to implementing this feature when it gains more popularity.
In the meantime, as a general recommendation, I suggest simply adding 50% of the weight of your chains to your total weight. For example, if your chains weigh 20 lbs on each side, that would be a total of 40 lbs. Adding 50% of this weight would be 20 lbs.
This makes sense given that in the end, you're always as strong as your weakest part of the lift (the bottom in the bench and squat). And at the bottom, you'll be lifting only about 50% of the weight of the chain.
I understand that this approach may not be as precise as you would like, but I hope it can serve as a helpful workaround until we can offer a more tailored solution. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Keep up the great work and happy lifting!
Best regards,
Carl
Most popular 4 and 5 day splits.
Please add some of the more effective 4 and 5 day splits for those of us that like to split up the body regions.
Old school bro splits would be great. I have setup my own custom workout but would like to follow what the experts recommend for effective splits.
