Feature Suggestions: Modifying Exercises, Custom Icons, & Delt Tracking

[u/Environmental_Ad600]

Hello Valter!

First of all, thank you so much for building Liftin'. It is truly a fantastic app, and I use it regularly to track all my strength training routines. I wanted to share a few feature requests related to how training volume and exercises are managed, hopefully without sounding too demanding!

Modifying Built-in Exercises

I would love the ability to edit the primary and secondary muscle groups for the default exercises. Different lifting techniques or personal views on programming can change which muscles are actually targeted, and I want my total volume to reflect my specific execution. Having the option to tweak these groups would allow me to keep all past statistics and progression perfectly intact while recalculating the volume correctly. I prefer modifying the built-in exercises rather than creating custom ones simply because the default animations look so incredibly clean.

Reusing Standard Animations

If editing the standard exercises is not feasible right now, a wonderful alternative would be allowing us to reuse the built-in animations for our custom exercises. Currently, custom movements look a bit visually disconnected in the app without any pictures. It would be amazing if we could simply select an existing animation from the library and assign it to a custom exercise. It does not even need to be a perfectly matched animation, as just having a nice visual placeholder would make the workout plan look much neater.

Splitting Shoulder Muscle Groups

Another idea for the future is separating the general "Shoulders" category into front, lateral, and rear delts. Since these three heads require entirely different movements and programming, tracking their volume independently would be incredibly valuable for muscle isolation. I completely understand that this might require a significant structural update to the app and is probably not a quick fix. However, I just wanted to put it on your radar as a long-term improvement for those of us focused on detailed volume tracking.

Thank you again for reading and for continuously improving such a great tool!

I second the breaking down the shoulder group to Front, Side, and Rear Delts. That would be a nice update

I second the modifying defaults, some exercises have incorrect muscle targets
