Hi Samantha!
Thanks for that suggestion.
Many people have already voted for a similar one (https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/12-images-for-exercises). So, I'm merging your suggestion with the other, and will mark this one as "Planned".
For now, for videos, I can't recommend enough http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html. They have hundreds of exercises for all major muscle groups, with detailed instructions, photos, and videos. And it's all free.
In our app, we've used the same names these guys used. So you should find all the exercises you're not familiar with there. They even have a search box (http://www.exrx.net/Lists/SearchExercises.html) where you can type in the names.
All the best,
Carl
Thanks for that suggestion guys. For now, when you don't have the exact weight, you should round up. Enter how many repetitions you did.
- If you can do all the recommended reps with the higher weight, great!
- If not, no problem. Just enter what you did.
The app will adjust, and you'll keep making progress. To be honest, it will not make a big difference in your progression, especially long-term.
Still, if or when this suggestion becomes #1, we'll implement it. Thx!
Thanks for your feedback guys. For now, as you know, the app works best with exercises that you can load with weights. For bodyweight exercises, it's hard to reduce or increase the weight. But you can do it.
Take chin-ups. Say you can do 12 reps at 175 lbs (your BW). The app tells you to do 10 reps at 185 lbs. You would just need to hold a 10-lbs dumbbell between your feet (or use a weighted belt) and you would be fine. Basically, you add to your body weight. You cannot subtract from your body weight, so make sure you get recommendations that are heavy enough (adjust the reps in the settings menu if you need to).
I realise this is not optimal, and I can see that this feature is getting more and more votes. As soon as it becomes #1, we'll implement it. Thanks!
This suggestion is now #1, and I'm happy to say we've already started to work on it! I'm marking it as "Started".
This one was released today! You can update via the Google Play or the App Store app on your phone. The update is live on Android and under review by Apple (give it 1-2 days).

Thanks! Really appreciate the help and support from forward-thinking lifters like yourself.
You can now customize your rep range inside Dr. Muscle, and train only for strength if you want. Along with custom program, this option works well for powerlifting.
Here's the announcement and video demo: http://drmuscleapp.com/news/custom-rep-range/.
I'm marking this suggestion as "completed". Thanks!
This one is in alpha and coming soon. I'm marking it as started. Quick preview:

Thank you for that suggestion Yohann.
For now, another option you have is the swap feature: http://drmuscleapp.com/news/swap/. You also don't have to do the exercises in the order they're listed, if you don't want to.
We implement suggestions with the most votes first, so the more people vote for this one, the faster we'll implement it. Thx!
