Ratings and reviews

I like the workload and the split. I don't like that the app doesn't remember the weight I used in the BBB sets and accessory lifts going in to the next workout, even though I hit save each time. UPDATE: The developer responded to me educating me on what setting to use to correct my issue. Now 4 stars. I'd only ask for updated videos on using the app.

I've read through Wendler's book and this honestly helps you keep track of his methods. I don't have the paid version but even this free version is good enough to track percentages, and even PR goals. Excellent. Update: I eventually bought the paid version, and been using it for 3 years or so. I lot more options, and practical additions for those wanting to hone in your training. Love the options to awitch to 3/5/1 variations, and many options for specific programing.

I've used Wendler's programs for 8+ years in my powerlifting training- a lot of the time, I was using paper or excel to do it or tracking my accessory work with pen and paper because previous 5/3/1 apps only included Wendler's program itself. This app replaces all that. It is easily customizable, very intuitive, and tracks all the stats I want to be able to see.

What's new

Possibility added to allow overtime during rest period. See "Settings", "Timer" to enable this.
