Good news! Today's update includes this suggestion: the app will no longer round the weights you enter. I'm marking this as completed.

Thanks guys!

Hi Stacy,

You're correct, that's a bug. It came with the warm-ups update. It's also the same bug Cassy reported earlier this week (https://muscle.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/72-and-for-weight-recording-in-error).

We have a fix ready and about to get rolled out. It should be out in a few days.

Thanks for your help and patience as we improve the app. I appreciate it.

Best regards,

Carl

We've fixed the timer bug that was introduced with warm-up sets. The update is already out on Android and under review by Apple (it should be out in 2-3 days).

If you want a custom timer, make sure you set it before you begin your workout for best results. In other words, do this:

- Update the app
- Open the app
- Tap the timer icon
- Toggle "automatch reps" off
- Set the time you want (e.g. 40 sec)

... and you're all set! You can begin your workout.

Thanks for your help and your patience. I'm marking this bug as fixed.

Peter,

I've answered your question by email.

This site is for app feedback, and I'd like to keep it that way. Many customers get email notifications when you post, so please try and keep app feedback here, and use email for questions like this.

Thanks!

Hi Peter,

Yes absolutely.

1- You should always do your exercises with good form, and not "cheat" to do the recommended reps, even if the weight is too heavy

2- When the weight is too heavy, do as many reps as you can with good form

3- If you don't do enough reps, the app will see that and have you deload on your next workout

Don't worry about not doing as many reps as the app recommends. It's sure to happen at some point. Enjoy that deload, and rest assured that it's going to help you get even stronger a few workouts hence.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I have good news: the app already has a feature for that. It's the deload feature. To learn more, read:

Deload: How To Break Your Plateau And Start Building Muscle Again (http://drmuscleapp.com/news/deload/).

I'm marking this request as completed.

Cheers,

Carl

Thanks for taking the time Cassy. Just to be clear: the app already calculate based on the actual weight you enter (rather than its recommendation). I don't see this changing.

Glad you think the solution I proposed would work. Cheers.

Hi guys,

We've had another comment today re weight increments, this time from Australia:

"Is there anyway you can fix the weights to allow 1.25kg increases for weights, I’m in Australia and we don’t have 1kg weights here or at the gym I go to now and even gyms I have trained at in the past."

As you can see, it's hard to please everyone. At this point, I'm thinking the best option may be to stop rounding altogether, and let everyone enter the weights they have access to. Would you guys like that solution?

Hi Cassy,

Thanks for bringing that one up. We're aware of the bug and it's at the top of our list. It should be fixed very soon.

For now, you can work around the bug by toggling "autostart" off and tapping "start" yourself at the end of your sets every time you want a 40 sec timer. I realise this is far from perfect and I can confirm we'll be rolling out a fix soon.

Thank you for your patience,

Carl
