Dr. Juneau, 

Could you look into considering the specific goals of the athlete like the inclusion of workouts that include specific powerlifting exercises and implements like board presses, bands and chains etc. As well as gaining maximum strength while staying within a weight division. Good information can be found from Sheiko and Westside Barbell. Unless the science says that you can improve maximum strength from hypertrophy alone. I believe the app is awesome and I just wonder how the A.I would handle both bodybuilding and powerlifting depending on your goals. 

As more exercises are added (which I like), it would be helpful, if they were listed under categories...ie chest, back, legs, etc.

Would also be nice to add this feature to “my exercises”.

I love the ability to swap out an exercise!

I did notice when I did this, it allowed me to switch to whatever I wanted, it showed up in the workout screen but... here's the possible bug I found.

Everything prior to swapping out an exercise was saved, but I wasn't able to save the swapped out exercise or anything beyond.  I was able to save the sets, but when I clicked Finish Exercise.. nothing.

I had to pick the back arrow and I continued.  It let me save sets but it never let me Finish Workout

Ultimately in my history (progress) nothing was saved from the swapped exercise beyond.  Sets seemed to save but it wouldn't submit that exercise.  Normally when you Finish Exercise, it saves, shows you progress and goes to the main workout screen.

It didn't do this.

I'd like the option to Push workouts to clients.  Say I recommend this app.  Now the client gets bored along the way.  It would be interesting to allow me to build a custom workout and Push (share) this with a contact who also has the app.

We've discussed this in the past as a community of workouts.  I get that could detract from science based routines and this isn't a social app but one that is geared to be a personal trainer.

But unless there are going to be different routines often, part of the problem of weight lifting is boredom.

Joints ache when you bench press over and over again.  Changing things up helps alleviate boredom and built up joint stress.  Hence my rep range suggestion in a previous post.

If there was a way a Push a workout to a contact that would be great vs a community that may become a dumping ground for workouts or things you can find anywhere else on the web.

Still hoping for a web based profile that will allow faster building of custom workouts that can be Pushed to the device.

It would be nice to have a tutorial as well as more documentation about the science of what the app is doing for you, like the small "Learn more" link under the timer menu. 

If you design your own custom workouts, will the app apply the same machine learning to those like it does with the prebuilt programs?

It's really a matter of old habits and availability of weights in the gym.  Hence, I have found it more efficient to go with the flow and do my upper body workout days prior to the lower body workout days.  Understand the "rest" between workouts theory that makes lower body done before upper - so willing to modify.  But it is easier in this gym to do it in reverse order.

At some point during the progression, there should be a "Are you ready for a 1 rep max test?"  Then it's a 5/3/1 workout to see if what the app thinks you can do, you can do.  If not, that's fine, adjust as necessary.  But strength is an important concept that should be tested time to time.  Always the option to skip an exercise if you don't feel like doing a 1 rep max workout every so often.  Goes more with a strength training phase of the program vs always in the 6-12 range.  At some point, it's fun to do the 4-6 range to just bang out heavy weight.

From a UI perspective when I'm done with my routine do I SAVE it or do I FINISH it?  The button at the bottom after I'm done with my workout for the session should be Finish Workout vs Save.  Saving is for data in progress (I saved my Excel document).  Finish is for the end (I finished my workout today or I saved my workout today?).  Semantics sure.. but it's much more intuitive to Finish a workout and have it saved into the history.

Today while working out, I was doing 355lbs on bench press for 4 sets of 4 reps. On my 3rd set I struggled hard on my last rep. Coming into my 4th set I decided to drop to 335, and I was able to push out all 4.  I forgot to change 355 to 335 on set 4, and hit finish exercise.  It showed me a 6% increase, and then I remembered I hadn't changed the last set.  I changed set 4 to 335, hit finish exercise, and it still showed a 6% increase.  Not sure how exactly the app makes this determination, but I'm assuming it wouldn't be the same increase in both scenarios?
