Blood Flow Restriction Sets
Considering the amount of studies on BFR training, it would be rather interesting to see if an exercise could be setup as a BFR set...
Meaning DR Muscle takes 20-25% of your 1 RM max.. the 1st set is 30 reps... then 30 seconds rest.. 3 more sets of 15 with 30 seconds inbetween.
I suppose this could be done today just by setting up a custom exercise like Dumbbell Curls - BFR and just manually putting in a weight and using the timer between sets.
But what I wouldn't want is for DR Muscle to start seeing such improvements off the Dumbbell Curl - BFR sets to increase the weight. I'd like it to take my regular Dumbbell Curls and extrapolate a 20% use from that. Or else I risk going pretty heavy with high reps and that would defeat the purpose.

Marc, thanks for your sharp feedback. Looking forward to implementing that suggestion.
In the meantime, you guessed it: you can already create custom exercises that behave that way inside Dr. Muscle. Here's how:
Tap Exercise (bottom bar)
Tap Exercises
Tap the big plus button (bottom right)
Name your exercise > e.g. Dumbbell Curl - BFR
Is this a bodyweight exercise? > No
How hard should the exercise be? > Easy
...
That "easy" setting is the key. With that, your weights will only go up if you tell the app "I could have done 7+ more" at the end of your first work set.
Hope that all makes sense!
