Hi Lloyd,

I'm guessing you're on a level 1 program. To mix in more exercises, I'd recommend moving up to level 2 right away. Here's how you can do that:

Tap More (bottom bar)

Tap Settings

Tap Change program


On any program, you can also swap exercises any time. The app will recommend similar exercises for the same muscles. Here's how:


Tap More next to any exercise

Tap Swap


I'm going to mark this as completed for now. On that note, when you suggest a feature on this website, everyone who's signed up gets a notification. So, if you have questions about the app, please first email us at support@drmuscleapp.com.

Thanks for your sharp feedback,

Carl

Bar weight to zero

Gaetan Mac Donald 4 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 6 months ago 2

It couldt be nice to be able to set de bar weight to zero.  In some exercice, like hacksqat there is no need ( at my gym ) to consider the bar weight

Answer

Thanks for voting for this suggestion: it's live!

You can now adjust your bar weight all the way down to 0 in the plate calculator, allowing you to work with bars of any weight.

Pumped? Now would be a good time to vote for our next features at https://muscle.userecho.com/.

Thanks again for your support,

Carl

Ability to make any exercise hard, medium, light

Seppe Hoobergs 4 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 4 years ago 4

The ability to select EVERY exerxise as light, medium, hard (regular) instead of the limited ones we have.


would be a tremendous help to make the existing dr.muscle workouts a lot more interezting this way you can switch exercises which you prefer and you can jeep managing fatigue with light and medium days just as the program recomended.

it will also be a great help for custom workout programs.

Answer

Seppe, I'm happy to say you can indeed already make any exercise hard, medium, or light. Here's how:

Tap Exercise (bottom bar)

Tap Exercises

Tap the big plus button (bottom right)

As you create your exercise, the app will ask "How hard should the exercise be?" Select hard, medium, or light. And you'll be good to go!

Prioritize body parts that are lagging behind other muscle groups

André Ferreira 4 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 4 years ago 3

The app should allow to specify a lagging muscle group that needs to be worked out more often or with more volume. The app couldn’t ever figure this out alone so it is important to give that feedback.

Answer
Carl Juneau, PhD 4 years ago

André, we already have a feature that's quite similar:

Tap More (bottom bar)

Tap Settings

Scroll down to Body part priority


Let me know if you had something else in mind. We believe your experience with us should be smooth and a solid 10/10. Thx!

Challenge not finishing

Artin Entezarjou 4 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 4 years ago 3


Answer

Hi Artin! Thanks for reporting that issue. Turns out our database became full around 3 am today. This caused the issue you were seeing. But it's fixed now (I'm copying the full recap below). If you notice issues again, could you please email us at support@drmuscleapp.com? This forum is for feature requests, and when you post here, every contributor gets an email notification. Thanks again for your sharp feedback.

To recap: around 3 am today, our database became full. This prevented new exercise and workout progress to be saved. To be clear, Patrick, Henning, Jesse, Derek, and Seppe, this means your progress today was probably not saved. The easiest way to work around that is the following. If you're still seeing the workout you did (but that was not saved) on your home page, open it. Next, save it without redoing any exercises. Because of this, the next time you do that workout, it may feel a bit easier. But the app will notice and adjust in 1 workout. Overall, your long-term progress will not be affected. Also, your history and past workouts were not affected.

We found out about the issue at 10:42 am and fixed it by 11 am. Still, I believe we should have found out earlier. I take full responsibility. Losing today's workout like that is a bad experience. I apologise for that. We've taken steps to prevent issues like that in the future. This is the first time it's happened, and it should not happen again. My bad guys.
