The all new Muscle Shocker app helps users quickly generate intense muscle building workouts.   We did the research so you don't have to and after over a year of testing and fine tuning we are proud to present the best muscle building workout generator on the market.   We read your comments on other apps and are proud to offer Muscle Shocker as a free app with complete functionality. It has ads, but they are non-intrusive and will not slow you down during your workout. How does the app work? Home Vs. Full Gym: Firstly, in the settings you can select home or full gym. For home gym users you will be able to select the equipment you have available. Setting Up The Workout: Users start be selecting the muscles they want to train. For instance, let's say you want to do a push day (shoulders, chest & triceps). Select 'PUSH DAY' on the muscle family screen. Or, if you want to do a push day but add in abs, select 'INDIVIDUAL MUSCLES' and then add all four muscles. Next, choose which of these muscles you would like to target for extra gains. If you've been having trouble growing the shoulders, select them here. The Workout: - Start with the warm up. Much like the science behind each set, rep and rest period, so the importance of getting the blood flowing before lifting, so do it! - By default the app will ask you for your one-rep max prior to each exercise. If you know it, enter it. If not, skip it. The weight levels given will be exact poundage if the 1RM is entered. Otherwise you will be given prompts such as "HEAVY WEIGHT". Tap on that prompt for a detailed description such as "A weight you could normally perform 8 repetitions with." - Whichever muscle you've selected to shock will be worked first via a shock style exercise (Pyramid, Drop Set, Super Set or Super Shocker.) Tap any blue playhead in the workout to see a demo on all shock and regular exercises. - After each set, use the rest button to time your rest periods as directed. The set, rep, weight and rest periods have all been carefully crafted to give users the best possible results for each second spent in the gym. In Workout Bottom Navigation: - Play Icon. View a listing of all videos associated with the current exercise and tap to play. - 1RM Icon. Tap to change your one-rep max during your workout or enable/disable it entirely. - Stop Watch. Use this a timer at any point during the workout. PRO version icons / functions: - Shuffle exercises. This comes into play in the event you recently have performed this or if the needed equipment is not available. - Add muscles or exercises. Users can opt to add additional muscles or exercises in the event they possibly need a bit more before ending their workout. The Pro version also features additional workout variations. These will come into play after users have been consistently using the app for a significant period of time. For a limited time, Pro purchases will be grandfathered into Version 2.0 which will add features such as user customized workouts, tracking and more. We do not currently have a set date for that release and could be many months away. We also are not guaranteeing these functions.   What The App DOES NOT DO: - Muscle Shocker is not a personal trainer, nor a meal plan, nor a tracker app.   - It is not designed to help users lose fat or run marathons. In order to offer users an extremely streamlined, fast user-interface these features have been left out of version 1. We will be keeping a close eye on feedback and are already working on a Version 2.0 however, the ease-of-use offered now will always be an option for users. ## Key features - Customizable workout generation - Home or full gym equipment selection - Targeted muscle training - Detailed exercise instructions and demos - Integrated rest timers - Advanced workout techniques (Pyramid, Drop Set, Super Set) - One-rep max calculator ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Muscle Shocker Pro | $4.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (8 of 8) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/muscle-shocker/id1475193305/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Some crashing issues *2021-08-20, version 1.0.8* LOVE THIS APP. At times when I’m using this app it crashes halfway thru my training or at times, instantly crashes. Please fix this minor issue and thanks I’m advance. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2019-12-23, version 1.0.4* This app is the pinnacle of workout apps! I personally am really into working out and always trying to impress myself but I hit my peak and now struggling with ideas to help hit certain parts of my muscle group. Since using this app I’ve been able to hit them and now I get the soreness I’ve been looking for and I feel like I’m accomplishing something in my workouts again. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-12-20, version 1.0.4* I’ve looked at many apps for working out and I have to say that this one seems the most intuitive and user friendly. It’s absolutely free which is incredible but I wanted to show my support and got the premium version because I honestly think this app is incredible and much better than the popular apps you’ll see. ### 5/5 — Great pump! *2019-12-19, version 1.0.4* This app is awesome. I have been lifting on and off for nearly 15 years and the variety of exercises on this app has taught me a few things. I know the creators of the app and was part of beta testing, and can confirm that they only used the most science based exercises for muscle growth, with a secondary priority on exercise safety when choosing which exercises to include. I personally will not use this app during every work out, as the workouts are so good that they totally wreck my muscles! Definitely recommend for those looking for a good base line to start with or those with an already steady gym schedule but are feeling stagnant. I should note, as a friend of the creators, that content, improvements and innovations are definitely in the pipeline and will not disappoint! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2019-12-14, version 0.2* This helped me focus on exactly how to shock my muscles I had no clue how too until I downloaded this app. Workouts are great! ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️ *2019-12-07, version 0.2* Not just for guys! I love this app, it’s nice to have a personal trainer right at my fingertips! ### 5/5 — Welcome to Gains-ville *2019-12-06, version 1.0* My new favorite app! This app is my new SWOLLY bible. Father forgive me for these gains I’m about to receive! In the name of the father, the son and the swolly spirit. Amen Seriously tho...good stuff! ### 5/5 — Exhausted, yet bias *2019-12-06, version 1.0* Welp, after my first official gym sesh with the live app and some exhausted shoulders along with some melted triceps I must say, the app is legit. However, i should disclose that i am one of the creators so this review may be a bit biased but all the same, i love the app. Try it out. It will not disappoint. ## Frequently asked questions about Muscle Shocker ### Does Muscle Shocker have ads? Muscle Shocker is a free app that contains non-intrusive advertisements.
