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.

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:
- Open the store app on your phone
- Search for Dr. Muscle
- Tap update
Now would be a great time to suggest and vote for our next feature. If you'd like to do that, please visit: https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1-submit-your-feedback/topics#.
Really appreciate your support and advice. Thanks!

Import data from other apps
Strong and Fitocracy, for example, also allow one to export data – what a cool feature it would be if you could just import data from your last work-out app, and it would be all set up? It’s also a great selling feature: “Don’t lose all your hard work. Just import the data and go to the gym. An optimized workout will be ready for you based on your records.”

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?

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.

Bar weight adjustments memorized for each exercise
I searched through the database but I couldn’t find any similar topic. If there’s already one I ask for apologies in advance.
Here’s my request:
The bar weight is adjustable but the weight remains the same in the next session unless it’s manually modified. It’s not a big problem, even though when I don’t pay attention to it, I forget to double check and only following the plates calculation I’m doing the warm up with the wrong weight.
Typical situation that sometimes occurs to me (I’m expressing myself using kgs)
Last exercise of push day: lying triceps extension with ez bar 7,5 kg
First exercise of next session (pull day) barbell row with usual bar at 20 kgs. Usually for the first set I can see by myself plates to use, because its light. On the second set of warm up the app tells you how many plates to add not showing the bar’s weight. I add plates and performing the exercise I’m feeling that the warm up weight is a little bit hard for me. Then I check the app and discover that the bar weight is 7,5 instead of 20.
To avoid this, two are the solutions:
1) (the best one) bar weight is memorized for each exercise (I always perform barbell curl with ez bar, for instance)
2) show in the first screen with timer, not only the plates to add, but also the bar’s weight.
Thanks for your kind attention

AI ability to swap excercises / suggest an alternative when swapping
I do have a suggestion to improve the product though: where there is a substitute needed, the app should suggest an alternative (the closest exercise to providing the same training impact as the original) instead of letting the customer select one.
Hope this helps.

Display notes on exercise screen
When a note has been added to an exercise it would be great to have the first line or so of that note displayed on the exercise set screen, there is space. Right under the name of exercise show the first several words of the note. Otherwise you have to open settings for each exercise to see if you have a note. And if possible make it so you can tap those words it opens your full note.

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.
