We've begun working on this feature! App will ask "What are the smallest weight increments (plates) available to you?" Thx Christian for that wording suggestion. Will update here when this new feature is available to test. Cheers guys!
Hi Marc,
I'm really sorry to hear about what happened.
Until this suggestion gets enough votes and we implement it, yes, you would need to select the workouts you can do via the "Manage workouts" menu.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery,
Carl
Hi Marc,
To do that, head over to your logs, and delete your entry for that exercise on that day. Here's how:
Top-right menu >
My progression >
Logs (top nav) >
Scroll to your exercise (or specific sets) >
Tap "..." >
Tap "Delete"
Next, return to your workout, and do that exercise again.
I'm marking this idea as completed. Please email support (support@drmuscleapp.com) if you have more questions about that (lots of customers get an email notification when you post something here; please only suggest new features here).
All the best,
Carl
We had a small bug with the timer's "automatch reps" feature (only for normal sets). Because of the bug, it wouldn't time 2 to 3 minutes even when the app recommended that. Today's release fixes that bug.
The update is already available on Android and under review by Apple (give it 2-3 days). To update, visit the app store app on your phone, search for Dr. Muscle, and tap "update".
Thanks for your patience and support as we build this app. I really appreciate the support from forward-thinking lifters like yourself.
Hi Mac,
We've rolled out this one about a month ago, so I'm marking it as completed. If you still notice a bug, please follow up with us.
Thanks for your suggestion, and for helping to improve the app. Really appreciate your support. If you'd like to vote for our next feature, see https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1-submit-your-feedback/topics#.
We ended up going with "Finish and save workout", and adding a confirmation popup based on user feedback.
Good one Marc: you saw that one coming.
Cheers,
Carl
Thanks for taking the time to report that bug Tomislav. It's a known issue:
We're aware of small bug with the timer's "automatch reps" feature (only for normal sets). Because of the bug, it won't time 2 to 3 minutes even when the app recommends that. To get around the bug, toggle "automatch reps" off and set the timer manually to 2-3 minutes. We're working on that bug, and it will be fixed soon.
I'll update you hereas soon as it's fixed. Thank you for patience and support as we improve the app, and for voting for this feature. if you can spare the time, now would be a good time to vote for our next feature. You can do so here: https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1-submit-your-feedback/topics#.
Hi Yohann,
I can understand your point, but as Glen said, sometimes people will do fewer reps than recommended for other reasons than all-out failure. In those cases, I still want them to be able to tell the app how many reps they had in reserve.
You said you don't really understand it, so if you'd like to read more about this concept, you can check out:
http://drmuscleapp.com/news/reps-in-reserve/ ("If your sets are easy and you have many reps in reserve, Dr. Muscle will push you harder. If your sets are hard and you have zero reps in reserve, Dr. Muscle won’t increase your weight at all.")
https://www.strongerbyscience.com/weekly-load-progression/ (see section 3, "Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE)")
I'm going to mark your suggestion as declined for now, but I'm open to changing that in the future if need be.
Thank you,
Carl
We've just released normal sets! Normal sets:
- Are better for strength development
- Can be safer for multi-joint lifts (especially if you carry them to failure)
- Downside: they take more time
The update is already available on Android and under review by Apple (give it 2-3 days). To update, visit the app store app on your phone, search for Dr. Muscle, and tap "update".
If you get a "Connection error" message after you update, please log out and log back in. That should solve it.
