Select the number of sets

6 years ago • updated by 5 years ago • 3

I would love to be able to cap the number of sets & let the app figure out the number of reps and weight for growth. As some studies show, you can grow muscle with 1-2 sets (& warm up). On the days I don’t have as much time for a 5 or more sets in the workout, I would like to cap the number of sets to 2 or 3 Thus, I could get a workout done even faster than rest-pause if I combine rest-pause, supersets, and only doing a warm-up and two working sets. Any chance our AI trainer can calculate growth when the sets are constrained?

Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's done!

Open settings and toggle on quick mode to get 2 work sets for all exercises. That way, your workouts should last max 30 minutes.

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#.

Yes, potentially. Although it allows for a bit more flexibility. For example if someone wanted to do 5 by 5, then they could constrain the app to five sets instead of 1 or 2 or 3. But you are correct, mostly I am looking to get in a quick, but effective workout.
