Hi Jon,

Good news: the feature you requested is already available in the app. You can achieve a 50%-75% workout intensity by tapping "..." next to any exercise, and selecting "Swap". Then, choose the same exercise with a medium or easy variation. To return to your original workout, tap "Undo swap" or go to Edit workout (top left) and select Restore workout (top right).

This functionality allows for lower intensity sessions based on your recovery needs without impacting future workout calculations or adaptations. You can use for all or just some of your exercises, and choose easy or medium on a case by case basis depending on your needs.

I will mark this request as completed for now. If you need more help, please email us at support@drmuscleapp.com.

Thank you for your feedback!

Carl

Dear Nick,

Thanks for sharing your feedback regarding body weight measurement and the hints provided by the app. Your concerns about the app's analysis based solely on daily progress are valid, especially when weight fluctuations can occur regularly.

Good news: we're working on implementing weight trends as we speak. You should see them go live in 2-3 weeks. Right after that, we'll make sure all of the app's coaching is based on trends and not daily values. You can vote on this open suggestion to keep track of our progress:

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Best regards,

Carl

Hi Alex,

Good news! You can already set up custom increments at the exercise level.

Just tap "..." next to any exercise in your workout, and then tap "Exercise settings". Toggle on Use custom increments, and you'll be good to go!

You could also entered detailed dumbbells and plate equipment, and use the more general increment setting for other machines and pulley (if they match). That would be under Settings > Change equipment.

I'm going to mark this as completed for now. Need more help? Email us anytime at support@drmuscleapp.com. We're here for you.

All the best,

Carl

Implemented some time ago, but not updated here. The app now asks you which gym profile you want to load when you tap Start workout. Marking this as completed.

This was done some time ago, but not updated. Marking completed.

Hi Dominique,

Thanks for reporting that issue. Indeed, you should be doing the variation that engages your abs the most. We're going to review and fix, and someone from the team will be in touch by email.

Best,

Carl

Hi Dominique,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the app suggesting a deload at what seems the wrong time. It can certainly be frustrating to see strength or volume go down. But it's important to understand that progress is not always linear, and that deloading may be the best course of action at times.

You can learn more at deloads at https://dr-muscle.com/deload. The app will recommend them when your performance has gone down or when it's stuck to prevent overtraining and injury.

Following the recommendation to deload by reducing reps and/or weight temporarily may help your body recover and come back stronger in the long run, even if it may seem counterintuitive initially. 

If the app suggests a deload but you feel like you could have lifted more, you can always cancel it. Just tap the alert icon on your first work set (that says deload) and tap Cancel deload. Further, you can also always make any exercise harder by tapping the three dots next to it and Challenge.

If you have more questions about the app or potential bugs to report, please get in touch at support@drmuscleapp.com. We try to keep this site for features requests only.

Thank you for choosing Dr. Muscle!

Carl
