Charts with long-term progress
A chart or table that shows progress for more than 3 sessions (example on 1-2 months)
Answer
This week, we're starting to work on the "My profile" screen. On that screen, you'll also be able to chart your progression for each individual exercise over 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or all time.
I'm marking this as "Started" and I'll update you here as soon as it's released.
All the best,

Good news! The latest update is out in beta on Android (and under review on iOs).
In the menu (top right), you'll find the "My progression" screen. This screen shows you your progression across all your recent exercises (see image):
If your progression slows down under 2%, it means you're getting used to doing the same exercises over and over. At that point, you should level up your workout plan to add new exercises in rotation. I've explained why in this article: http://drmuscleapp.com/news/build-muscle-faster/#3.
Level 1 and level 2 workouts are already in the app. Level 3 workouts are coming soon. Also, soon, the app will manage your workouts and level them up automatically for you. You'll be able to follow that progress from the "My progression" screen.
With the next update (next week hopefully), on that same screen, you'll also be able to chart your progress for a single exercise, over the timeframe you want (from 3 workouts to all time). So, @Dan, we got you covered with at least one year :) I'll update you guys here as soon as that's available.
This update is overdue by two weeks. We've taken steps to prevent that moving forward. But for now, you've been patient -- and I'm grateful. Thank you!

Charts are out in beta! You can now see your progress for any or all exercises, over the timeframe you want (from 3 workouts to all time).
On the screenshot I'm attaching, you can see my progression for the shoulder press for all time. You'll notice 3 peaks and 2 valleys. The valleys are deloads. As you can see, each deload leads to a bigger peak, and a bigger 1RM.
That's exactly why you should deload when you stop making progress. Deloads wipe away fatigue and let you progress again. Good news is, the app takes care of that for you, and makes you deload exactly when you need it, so you can break your plateaus, get stronger, and build more muscle.
Beta users on Android have access to charts right now, and those on iOs will have access tomorrow (hopefully) after Apple reviews the update. The update should be live for all users next week.
I'm marking this feature request as "Completed."
Cheers!
