Swap Out Exercise

Marc David 8 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 8 years ago 11

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

Mark Seger 4 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 1 year ago 7

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)

Jacob Jones 6 years ago updated by Quentin D 6 months ago 2

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

Make personal statistics data available via API

Ross 6 years ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 6 years ago 1

I'd love to be able to extract my training data via an API, for use in a presentation layer, that I could use to see more in-depth, custom graphs over time.  I know there's the web-app at the moment but my thinking is that, by providing this data via API, the community could develop some open-source dashboards (yes, I'm volunteering) that would mean the core dev team could focus on the app.

Control the amount of sets per exercise

I would find it useful to set the custom rest time between sets under settings at the exercise level (same page as custom reps).

Weak point training

Stacy Lidell 7 years ago 0

Hi there Carl,

I was wondering if in the future there would be a way for the app to engineer weak point training. As a competitive bodybuiler, albeit a physique athlete, one is always trying to work on balance and symmetry. I just thought that this could be an awesome inclusion into the app (if possible of course) if it could come from a scientific background. 

I am not sure how you would "teach" the app how to gauge the user's weak points but maybe this could be done via user-based feedback. So for example if I were able to tell the app which parts of my body I feel are lagging behind then it could readjust my programming to try and overcome those weak points.


Obviously I could program that in myself, but it would be amazing if this could be done in a scientific way by the app (utilising excercises shown to affect growth in said weak areas). 


Kind Regards,

Stacy
