For the Plank, I am using my own body weight and i held it for 1 min. there was no way to account for this. that might be something worth looking into.

If you're on Android, you can update now. If you're on iPhone, you'll have to wait 2-3 days for Apple to approve it. To update:

Skip a Workout
Bummer.. I'm injured. But the app is saying I should be doing a lower body workout.
If I just click Finish and Save, it almost appears like it will move me to the next level if I keep doing that.
Do I just select an Upper Body workout?
I wish there was a Skip this Session so that it will not save any data but allow me to move to the next iteration.
Maybe that's how it works now?
Thanks for voting for this feature! It's done.
To skip a workout, simply Start a workout, scroll down, and tap Skip workout. Voilà!

Cardio guidance base on personal goals
I would like to see cardio guidance base on personal goals, BF%, etc. With the exception of TrainingPeaks, which does not have a good intra-workout tracking system, I have not seen apps do this well.
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done!
To add a short HIIT session to your workouts, you can now simply toggle on “Cardio” in Settings. To add cardio to a single workout, add it as you would any other exercise (search for “HIIT Cardio”). Want more options? Let us know in the comments.
This is version 1225. If you're on Android, you can update now. If you're on iPhone, you'll have to wait 2-3 days for Apple to approve it. To update:

Add a pop up when all sets are done
Suggestion: add a pop up when all sets are done with a text along the lines of: "All required sets done! Would you like to move on to the next exercise or do more sets?
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done!
With the new fullscreen timer and interface, when you do sets:
1) You'll see the fullscreen timer between sets
2) After your last set, you won't see the fullscreen timer
3) Instead, the "Save set" button loses emphasis, and the "Finish and save" button gains emphasis (it becomes bold and filled white)
I think this accomplishes what you guys requested here, so I'm going to mark this one as completed. But after you try the new interface, if you feel it doesn't, please get back to me. Open to tweaking it to make it more to your liking.

Swap Out Exercise
The ability in a workout to "swipe" away an exercise and pick another. Maybe I don't like it but I like the pre-defined routine. Maybe the equipment is taken by somebody and they'll never leave. Or I have an injury and while I can't do a hip thrust, I could do a reverse hyperextension for the glutes. Some method to dismiss a single exercise and the option to add or replace with another.
You can now swap an exercise mid-workout.
This update is now available to everyone on Android and under review on iPhone (Apple should approve it in 1-2 days).
I'm marking this as "Completed." Thanks to all who voted.
Add "resistance bands" to the "show me only exercises I'm equipped for" under the Home Equipment Profile with the option to specify which band colors/weight ranges you have
Add "resistance bands" to the "show me only exercises I'm equipped for" under the Home Equipment Profile with the option to specify which band colors/weight ranges you have. So the AI would treat resistance band workouts like using weights and increment the weights (bands) as rep ranges were met/exceeded. I tried setting up custom exercises for bands, but it treats them as bodyweight only (since that is how you have to classify them) and only increases reps. The present setup doesn't work well for capturing which bands are being used without a lot of workout modifications. With more people resorting to home gyms and resistance bands or a combination of them with weights, you would them lay a foundation to implement Dr. Muscle resistance band exercises and workouts. For now, I've had to stop using Dr. Muscle and go back to paper to track my workouts effectively.

Integrate with MyFitnessPal for nutrition (to review macros/caloric intakes and diets for subscribers)
Hello,
I would like to see a possible integration with MyFitnessPal, to allow a dietitian or nutritionist the ability to review macros/caloric intakes and diets for subscribers (perhaps every two months or more with a single use fee), also for those that the app flags as not making progress.
If a dietitian or nutritionist would be too expensive on your end, then since Dr.Muscle is a "AI" or Machine Learning App, you could make it to where your algorithm pulls data from the MyFitnessPal integration and compares macros/nutrient/calorie intake with gains/progress logged within the Dr.Muscle App. Then the algorithm could make suggestions such as adjusting macros and calories to match progress or the lack of progress.
I love the AI/Algorithm approach, upfront cost for you guys obviously, but then its just maintenance, but it would also be nice if users could buy a nutrition review and a dietitian or nutritionist who is experienced with body building/fitness could review the data that Dr. Muscle gathers from MyFitnessPal.
Just food for thought.
Thank you so much,
Jacob Jones
Control the amount of sets per exercise
I can control the exercises and I can control the reps, but I am unable to control the amount of sets per exercise. I would like a setting for that I think it's missing.
Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done! You can now customize sets in Settings and for every exercise by tapping the pen icon. In the next release, you'll also be able to customize them at the workout level.
If you're on Android, you can update now (v1234). If you're on iPhone, you'll have to wait 2-3 days for Apple to approve it. To update:
- Open the store app on your phone
- Search for Dr. Muscle
- Tap update
