Realistic workout time estimate
For the full body workout the app always gives an estimate of 30 minutes, but it always takes me about two and a half hours if I follow the app's suggested rest times. And I always skip bench at the moment, so it would be even longer if I did that as well. If it's impossible to do the full body workout in 60 minutes following the default rest sessions it doesn't make sense to have 60 minutes as the standard estimate for it. Could you change the settings so that it gives a realistic time estimate for the workouts?
Answer
At the moment, the app has me doing 4 work sets, two warm up sets and a longer lighter set at the end for most (but not all) exercises. The rest times between sets on their own add up to more than an hour, so it really is impossible to complete in 60 minutes.
I could do shorter rest periods than the app suggests, but I assume that the rest periods suggested by the app are the optimal periods and the whole point of having the app is that it's meant to calculate all that for us so that we can just follow the instructions and see growth.

We're revised the way the app estimates your workout duration. We've also added a "Workout duration" setting that influences how any warm-up sets and work sets you'll be doing. You can find it under the Settings tab (bottom bar).
Now would be a good time to suggest and vote for our next feature. Please visit https://muscle.userecho.com/.
