United StatesPress Strength Training is a fitness companion app featuring Strength Standards, Calories & Macros, and a routine journal featuring Starting Strength, StrongLifts 5x5, The Texas Method, and 5/3/1. Strength Standards allows you to measure your performance in the Overhead Press, Deadlift, Bench Press, and Squat, according to your body weight. Calories & Macros is a nutrition calculator which will calculate how many calories you should use a day according to body composition, activity level, and caloric goal, as well as allowing you to choose how you want to split your macronutrients. Routines allows you to keep track of your current routine workout by workout, week to week. Currently supported routines are Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength, StrongLifts 5x5, The Texas Method, and Jim Wendler's 5/3/1. Finally, My Info allows you to store your measurements, switch between metric and imperial units, and record your personal records.
Love the app, but...
I really like this app for the 5/3/1 program, however, after 11 weeks of using the app, as well as my son and my niece using it, I just realized the app is basing percentages off of my one rep max, not the 90% training max that Wendler insists upon! That means my numbers were off by too much weight the whole entire 11 weeks! I progressed but got very frustrated by bench and OHP progressing so slowly.

The app is nice in giving you calorie guidelines and estimating your strength level, but it doesn't allow you to enter your workout. It lets you enter your personal records and then gives you suggested numbers for your workout but there's no entry points for the daily workout. I'm missing something here. I thought this was a log too not just a beginning Calculator for starting the programs.
