Thanks for reporting that issue Sebastian. I can understand that's frustrating, and I'm guessing you're on iOS. What's going on here is if we let the timer run, iOS is killing the app in the background when you exit to save memory. We've already implemented a workaround with a notification. If you stay outside the app for the full timer duration (e.g. 25 sec), you'll get a notification telling you your rest is over. Let me know if that doesn't work at support@drmuscleapp.com. If you find other issues with the app, please drop us an email. We try to keep this site for feature requests. I'm marking this one as completed for now. Thx!

Thank you for your suggestion Barrett. This was released in a recent update. I'm marking it as completed.

Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's in beta! From the announcement:

Having a pure strength program is our #1 most requested features, so I’m excited to bring it to you today! Obviously, a pure strength phase makes you stronger. But some coaches also believe it can help you build more muscle in the long run, as tension is a key driver of muscle growth (and tension increases when you lift heavier weights). Wanna try it out? You’ll find our new powerlifting programs under Workouts > Gym. To make it your current program, save any of its workouts. If you already have some experience benching, squatting, and deadlifting, I suggest starting at levels 2 or 3.

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? Write back if you'd like to get in. Otherwise, you'll see a notification to update 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#.

Really appreciate your support and advice. Thanks!

Hi William. I can suggest a few solutions here:

1) Swap for a barbell row (tap More and Swap).

2) Do both sides in the same set while the app thinks you're doing side 1. When the app asks you about side 2, just tap tap tap to save all sets.

3) Create a custom exercise called Dumbbell Row (both sides) and swap it in. To do that, tap Exercise (bottom bar), Exercises (middle image), and the big plus button (bottom right).

Note that we don't really recommend doing both sides with no rest, because there is some central nervous system fatigue that carries over from side 1 to side 2 (you may notice you're always weaker on side 2, that's why). But I can understand the need to save time. So in the end, it's your call.

For now, I'm marking this as completed. if you need more help, please email support@drmuscleapp.com. Thx!

Thanks for voting for this feature -- it's in beta! You can now set up different equipment profiles for workouts at the gym, at home, or on the road. To configure them, tap More, Settings, and scroll down. If you have more than one profile set up, the app now asks you automatically which profile you want to load as you open it.

Joseph, I noticed we don't really cover your request with this release (generate workouts on the fly based on equipment available). So, I created another topic for it.

In the meantime, if you're in the beta:
