Easy reps change
On easy exercises after the first work set, if you select that you could have done 5-6 more reps, the application dramatically reduces the number of requested reps for the next set while leaving the weight the same. This may occur with other exercise types, this is just the only place I've seen it. I was able to test repeatedly today and saw the same effect multiple times.
After completing 8 reps, I indicated that I could have done 5-6 more and on the next set the application requested 2 reps.
After completing 9 reps, I indicated that I could have done 5-6 more and on the next set the application requested 3 reps.
Sorry if this isn't a bug and I just don't fully understand the science behind the number of reps requested. I went ahead and did the 8-9 and just corrected the application for the second set. After this, it didn't drop back down to the artificially low number.
Answer
Could be that you have "rest-pause" sets enabled for your easy exercises. In this case the app always goes to 1/3 of the rep number of the first set.
Hi Joseph,
Martin is correct. (Thanks for chiming in, Martin!)
You can learn more about rest-pause sets at https://dr-muscle.com/rest-pause. If you'd rather do normal sets, you can toggle that in your global settings or for each exercise individually. For global:
Tap More (bottom bar)
Tap Settings
Scroll down to set style
For individual exercises:
Tap More (next to any exercise)
Tap Settings
Toggle on Use custom sets style
I hope that makes sense. Joseph, if you notice bugs, we'd rather you let us know at support@drmuscleapp.com (we usually fix them right away). So let's try to keep this forum and voting just for feature requests. I'm marking this one as completed.
I don't use rest-pause sets in general or for these specific exercises. The dramatic drop in reps-requested didn't occur when I indicated anything other than, "I could have done 5-6 more".
It's no big deal in any case, repeating the reps of the first set is simple enough. If you're sure this isn't a bug, that's good enough.
