I really enjoy using this app when I’m working with someone and they mention a issue they’re having that wasn’t noted previously. I can use the model to quickly show them what muscle is effected so they have a better idea of why that issue exists and what muscle we will need to focus on. It helps them better understand how to perform an exercise for the desired effect and where they should be feeling the desired outcome, whether it’s stretching or strengthening, so they can more quickly decide if they are performing it correctly or incorrectly.

Good for finding exercises but not good for tracking workouts

Good app for identifying exercises for specific muscles and groups.But I stopped using it for active workout recording because you can’t change a created workout on the fly. Let’s say you decide you want to add a leg exercise to your workout while you’re at the gym. You can’t just go find the exercise and add it.You have to stop the workout. Exit it. Go find the new routine. Add it to the specific, saved workout and then start the whole thing all over again. You can’t just drag and drop an exercise into a workout while you’re actually in the workout. That makes it unusually cumbersome and really limited for me personally.I also can’t get prior workout info without actually starting the workout, going to the exercise, checking history, then exit the workout. That’s clumsy. So I want to know what I was benching 2 weeks ago? Can’t do that. All it records is the last workout I did. So now I use Apple Notes to track my workouts while I’m in progress. This iMuscles 2 app is now reduced to just being a wiki-type resource for finding a new exercise. Which makes it just one more app that does the same thing as many, many other apps. It’s too expensive for that limited utility.

I had forgotten about this app. I downloaded it many many years ago. I just started doing some strength training again and this has been a great help. Tap on the muscle you want to work and it gives you multiple variations of the exercises to work that muscle. All in full motion along with the text to describe the proper form. I love this app!

Clinically inaccurate and dangerous

I am a physician that works extensively in a rehabilitative setting with a large patient base with chronic pain. Nearly all of the exercises listed in these videos show crucially and clinically dangerous executions of the movements. Nearly all barbell moves listed will contribute to a significant increase in the likelihood of disc herniations, SI instability, facet irritation, and discogenic pain generators when performed as they are in the animations. How can so many be so wrong? The same is true for nearly all kettlebell exercises and body weight movements. I was shocked to see that the entire program in unacceptable to show to my patients. If you are the designer of this or have any influence on this program, please reach out to me to correct these errors. If you are someone looking for good exercise guides, do not get this app. Buy Starting Strength and then go from there.
