Essential
I use it everyday. Thank you.
Great!
Works well! Only wish that there was a rest timer similar to the 5x5 app. Otherwise Its great! Everything I need on one screen
Doesn’t work correctly for some weights
I have 55, 45,35,25,15, 10x4. It can’t calculate options without using the heaviest plate or using both sets of 10s. If I ask it to use 285, it can’t. But (55,45,10,10) x2 + 45 =285. Same thing with 165, says i don’t have the right plates but (45,15)x2 +45 = 165. I use this for simplicity when tired to help not mislead the bar but OSHA’s limits
Better
1.25 has been added. Good. I have an issue with the app resetting back to default 60lbs when I go to another app and come back it will reset sometimes. Also, a timer would really complete this app.
Missing plates, math is wrong.
No option for the most common micro plate, the 1.25lb. Also, the math was wrong on the 175lb warmup set. It called for a 45,10,5,2.5 on each side. Update: issues were fixed, works great now!
Bad Math
Great idea but the execution needs work. As noted previously, the plates required are incorrect for several work weights eg 90 lbs calls for 10x1, 5x1, 2.5x1
Unfinished
Generally good but needs work. No 1.25 lb plate option. One time the last warm up weight was greater than the working sets. Still, good idea.
Warmup set weights are adjusted so they match the plates you have. Fixed a bug in some final warmup set weights being more than the workset weights. Added 1.25lb plates
