Hi guys,

This suggestion is getting a lot of votes, so I'm marking it as "planned".

For now, you can still do normal sets using the app. Here's how:

- Set a manual timer for 3 minutes
- Toggle off timer option "Automatch reps"
- For each exercise, your first work set is a normal set. Do that set.
- Take 3 minutes after your first work set using your manual timer
- Repeat your first work set for as many sets as you'd like (2-5 sets work best)

In other words, ignore the rest-pause sets, and enter the normal sets you do instead. I realise this workaround is not perfect, but it still lets you do normal sets using the app as it is right now.

Best regards,

Carl

Thanks y'all for your patience! Instead of drop sets, we ended up automating rest-pause sets. In some ways, they're better. To learn more, check out this new guide: http://drmuscleapp.com/news/rest-pause/.

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
