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?

I'd love to see csv export for workout logs in a future release

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Best regards,

When I swap might be convenient if the app only showed me exercises that are a good replacement for that specific exercise

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
