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.

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!

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.
Thanks for voting for this feature -- an early version is in beta! You'll find a new chart for your body weight by tapping More, and then Charts inside the app. For now, it only tracks your body weight (no body fat yet). To update it, tap your body weight on your home page.
We plan on improve that new feature by adding:
- Ability to track your body fat
- Ability to see your charts on your home page
- Reminders to log your stats
- And more!
While we work on this feature for you, is there anything else you'd like to see added?
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.
