This is something I really have wanted from a lifting app.

One thing I don't think is here, but would really love: be able to describe a workout I did today with my trainer so I can replicate it perfectly in 3 days at the gym by myself:

"bench press, drop sets, with a 30 second hold before each set, starting at 100lb and decreasing 10lb each set, reps starting at 20 and dropping to 16, 14, 12, and 10 for a total of 5 sets" either thru voice (preferably) or text and have the app build the workout.

Manually building these things really sucks in most apps, even if there's a good UI. My trainer has about 8 variations and combinations of these we might do on any particular day and they're always evolving and changing and I don't really have time to capture it in the moment.

Hi, I’m the creator of Musklr. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into creating something like this, but might not be the implement first. Have a few more thinks in the backlog :)

But I’ll put it in the backlog and work!

It sounds like a job for a pocket-size notebook.
