1. Would be nice if they added the option to make Wednesday a light squat day.I don't have many fitness apps to compare it with, but the ease of being able to integrate the workouts, progression, and even change the weight of bars and availability of different plates is fantastic.
2. Well worth the couple of bucks! Only issue is sometimes when in the menu the buttons stop working and I have to close out of the app and re-open, but it auto-saves your workout every step of the way, so you won't lose your progress!I've been using it for a few years, but recent updates to the UI has just made things far less efficient.
3. It will show you what plates you need for each weight and having quick access to the demo videos and excerpts from the book is extremely helpful.
4. I think I'd like to see a bigger emphasis in the app on diet; a lot of novices are going to use this and not eat enough and get frustrated with lack of progress.if you are doing the Starting Strength Linear Progression you are in better hands than a notebook.
5. It walks the user through a steady linear progression increasing weight with every workout.
6. The suggested weights and reps for warm up sets is great and helps the user reduce the risk of injury.
7. I especially love the visual guide which shows how many of which plates to put on the bar is great for when I start getting dumb and put too much or too little weight on.
8. If you're looking to get into the starting strength program I recommended this app for all the features and abridged book.Functional, useful and consistent.
9. If you're just looking for a workout app it will probably confuse you until you figure out the program it is desogned to fit.Great app to have for running a LP and is still good to have even if you're not.
10. Combined with automatic weight progression, all you need to do is show up and lift.
11. It calculates your next workout weight for you and all of your warmup weights and reps.
