Ratings and reviews

Perfect. Simply perfect. Please don't change a thing. Update: they changed a lot of things. I have very poor Wi-Fi in my basement where I work out, it seems the app depends on a solid Internet connection. Make the app almost useless. You can't make changes to the weights in your inventory, you have to update every single exercise when you modify your weights. There's no way to go back and complete today's training if you accidently submit it, because it's easy to do and not intuitive.

Got the app after buying the book. A lot of great info in the app from the book as well as good instructional videos. Awesome that you put in what weights you have and it programs your warm ups and working sets. Very easy to use and progress tracker is slick too. Sometimes cant seem to get something to load but a simple getting out of the app and back in fixes it and have never lost a workout progress. Well done on the app!

This is a really useful app for the basic novice program and even allows you to add chinups as progression advances. This app would be even better if it had the option of adding mid-week back-off for the advanced novice program. As it sits, the mid week set for squats just needs to be modified or added later and calculated by hand, which is not difficult. This is about as useful of an app as I can think of for a lifting program. Edit: They added advanced novice. This is great.
