Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's in beta! We've already implemented body weight tracking and coaching (with goals, calories, and macros). A few of you also requested we add bodyfat % tracking and estimates. If that's still a priority for you, please vote for that feature here: https://muscle.userecho.com/en/communities/1/topics/431-track-and-estimate-bodyfat

If you're in the beta:
On Android, you can already download the update. 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

Not in the beta? Click here to join: https://dr-muscle.com/beta-program/. Otherwise, you'll get a notification inside the app in 7-10 days when the public version comes out.

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#.

We've released 47 updates in 2020 (one a week or so). For the full list, see https://dr-muscle.com/timeline/.

Guys, good news! With the release of new meal plans feature, we're about to start working on this next. Looking at your suggestions, we're considering for previews of upcoming workouts:

- Calendar view
- Projected progress
- Email reminders

Anything else you'd like to see added?

Hi Austin,

These guidelines definitely make sense and are aligned with that we're doing here at Dr. Muscle. Basically, all our programs follow them.

Depending on your level and preferences, the fully-body, upper/lower or push/pull/legs programs may be the best fit for you. The app should have already recommended the best program and settings for you based on the answers you gave it when you created your account. But you can change it manually anytime by going to Settings > Change program. You can also try Settings > Scroll all the way down > Reconfigure account if you breezed through the setup questions. For more help, please email us at support@drmuscleapp.com.

Welcome to Dr. Muscle!

Carl

Thanks for reporting that issue Austin. We're on it. Someone from the team will be in touch shortly by email. A small request: this site is for new features. Please submit all bug reports to support@drmuscleapp.com. Thank you!

Hi Austin. Thanks for your suggestion. Programs like that are definitely popular, so we could certainly addi one to the app.

But as Seppe pointed out, the science says you should train each muscle at least 2x a week for best results. Here's meta-analysis of 10 studies:

Conclusions: When comparing studies that investigated training muscle groups between 1 to 3 days per week on a volume-equated basis, the current body of evidence indicates that frequencies of training twice a week promote superior hypertrophic outcomes to once a week.
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30558493/

And another one of 25 studies:

Meta-regression analysis of non-volume-equated studies showed a significant effect favoring higher frequencies, although the overall difference in magnitude of effect between frequencies of 1 and 3+ days per week was modest.

Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30558493/

So, if you're training solely with muscle hypertrophy, I would really recommend a program in which you train each muscle at least 2x a week. All our programs do that, fortunately. But if you'd still like us to add a program like you described, please let me know, and we'll do it as soon as your suggestion gets more votes. Only customers get to vote, and we implement suggestions with the most votes first. Thanks!

[Note to the team: check behaviour during strength phases also.]

Or do yiu mean select edit workout while in the workout?

No, I don't mean that.

I mean this:

Tap Exercise (bottom bar)
Tap Exercises
Search for that exercise

Open it 

Save any number of sets you like

Save it

Return to your workout (or close the app). You can do singles exercises anytime that way in the app (and save any number of sets for them). If you have more questions, please email us at support@drmuscleapp.com.

Hi Jim. Yes, here's how.

Tap Exercise (bottom bar)

Tap Exercises

Search for that exercise

Save any number of extra sets you like

I understand it would be smoother if you could save extra sets during your workouts, even after you finish and exericise. I look forward to implementing that improvement when this suggestion gets more votes (we implement suggestions with the most votes first). Thanks!

Hi Jim. I'm going to have the team follow up with you on that one, because the request you're making is exactly how the app is supposed to behave at the moment.

It was, briefly. Then Apple updated its Watch OS, and our code platform (Microsoft Xamarin) didn't follow suit. We're keeping a close eye and as soon as it's available, we'll release our watch app again.
