Very good app, i wish it had the advanced template that involves dong sets across, 5x5,5x3 and 5x1. But being able to add sets is nice, it just messes with the progress chart because it looks like your training max is dropping because you're not going for rep maxes. All in all it's the best 531 app calculator I've used, I loved the black iron beast website and used that for a few years but this is a very good improvement. Well done!

Really love this app, it does everything for you. Tracking your progress is so easy, and the graphs are really helpful . The one thing I would love added is the ability to insert custom exercises, for instance auxiliaires that aren't on the list, and have them scheduled just like your main set and Big 10.

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.

would be great to be able to set certain exercises as "dumbbell" or "barbell". they all appear to default to "barbell" style. Pretty good, has been kicking my butt, though I'm keeping up and feeling like I'm working harder than I have since I've progressed to an intermediate level. 4 stars because some of the prompts aren't super clear, though as you go through the weeks it makes more sense.
