It seems too good to be true. With the rest-pause technique, you can build muscle just as fast (or faster) with 1 set than you would with 3 normal sets, according to a study published in 2017 by researchers from Brazil (Prestes et al. 2017). Here’s a quick overview
We've improved the algorithm powering Dr. Muscle: * You'll never do more than 5 sets (down from 6) * You'll never do fewer than 5 reps (up from 4) * You'll improve 30-50% when you lift <= 12 kg 30-50% may sound like a lot,
We've improved the history screen, with charts for any or all exercises, from your last 3 workouts to all time. You can now also scroll through your logs for individual exercises.
We've added 14 new workouts to the app. These add new exercises in rotation when you level up your workouts.
We've added a superset feature to the app. You can now superset 2 exercises or more.
