Custom Exercises for Strength Builder
I know that more than 400 exercises sounds like a lot, but I think that everyone has already missed one or two exercises.
To add custom exercises would be absolutely amazing. When adding exercises, it should therefore also be possible to select the corresponding muscle groups that are addressed during the exercise.
At the moment I’m using similar exercises to get the most closest muscle strain to the exercise I‘m doing.

Thank you for this very nice feature ! Here sommes ideas to improve it :
- custom exercices
- custom Recovery timer
Thank a lot !
Grey
Hi GN, both of these are on my feedback board. I'll merge it with an existing post. You can cast your upvotes there!

Whoop’s newest update allows the user to create their own Strength Training exercise by associating the new one with the closest already preprogrammed exercise. For example: New: Dumbbell Incline Curl - Preprogramed: Dumbbell Curl. The variation is different, but it’s essentially hitting the same muscle group.

Custom exercise creation

It would be great if we could create some of the exercises which are missing. For example I am doing different variations of Lat Pulldowns with Bands and I couldn't find anything related to this in the current database.
Also, probably, in order to an accurate Strain score at the end of the entire workout, it might be good if we could choose (during the creation of the custom exercise) a similar exercise to help the app estimate the strain score better.
Thank you.

planned (soon)

Hi Christian, thank you for the feedback. Adding an exercise is quite an involved task as it includes not just the name of the exercise but also muscle groups, equipment, single-handed vs. two-handed, etc.
Therefore, whenever possible, I'd like to include all common exercises by default so the user doesn't have to go through this process. If you think a common exercise is missing, can you add it to this ticket, and I can include it in the next update? https://feedback.supersethealth.com/feature-requests/p/running-list-of-missing-exercises
That said, I will still work on a feature that allows users to add custom exercises. It'll be a more involved process for the user and less accurate because there is room for user errors.

That sounds like a good plan, Grey. I think that the person who wants to add their own exercises to Superset is very familiar with the muscle groups that are used by these exercises.
I therefore think that this function would be very useful.
Perhaps it could be built in so that the relevant muscle groups have to be specified when an exercise is added.

Grey I think it would be acceptable that custom exercises do not have any muscle groups, equipment, form, or image. I don't really care about those things anyways. I just need the name of the exercise and a way to track progression over time.

Christian I agree with this.. If somebody is that keen then they know the muscle groups they are working with. I use gymaholic previously and you can add own and include the relevant muscle groups. Never had issue with it and found very useful

Yes. It’s missing a reverse shoulder fly /rear peck deck for example.
