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.

Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done! You can now create time-based custom exercises (and edit your existing custom exercises). Your time-based exercises will progress by adding seconds instead of weight or reps.

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!

A good idea ! I do not plan to use it right on release but still ;) PS: Don't forget to vote for your own idea !

LOL.. I just did this in the gym today.  Added the exercise and realized there was no way to say this is by TIME and not how many reps can you do.  

I'd love to add a timed exercise and have the timer pop when you say Begin set.

Thanks for the suggestion guys.

Until this gets more votes and we implement a moreelegant solution, here's how you can do this inside the app:

Create a custom exercise
Set it to "Bodyweight"
1 rep = 1 second

So, for example, if the app tells you to do 40 reps of plank, do it for 40 seconds.
