What's great
After a long office day, I’m usually dead tired. mad muscles keeps pinging me to move — and it works. Short evening sets somehow give me more energy than I had before starting.
What needs improvement
I’d love to see a few more stretching or mobility routines for recovery days. Sometimes after sitting all day I need slower sessions, not only strength-focused ones. Also, a little more variety in the meal suggestions would be great.
vs Alternatives
I tried other apps, but they all felt either too intense or too complicated. MadMuscles stood out because it fits into real life — short workouts, no mental overload, and clear guidance. It’s the first app that didn’t make me feel guilty for missing a day, just motivated to continue.
Is the meal planner practical for your budget and diet?
The meal planner is realistic and budget-friendly. Ingredients are simple, not fancy, and I can swap dishes without messing up the plan.
How well does the app integrate with wearables or Health apps?
It syncs with Apple Health and tracks activity without any hassle. I don’t have to manually log anything — steps, calories, and workouts appear automatically.
Is the community supportive and free from spam or toxicity?
Surprisingly positive. No spam, no “look at me” competition vibes — just people sharing small wins and motivating each other.
