1. Like all things 5/3/1 make sure you are using the right numbers and you will be golden EDIT: Fantastic support, the man took a lot of time to get things fixed for me, an A+ human.Freezes often, dumb glitches like when using the keyboard it won't go away, and if you hit back, it exits where you were at and loses your progress.
2. This is especially useful for people who program out their training for longer periods of time, being able to set all your cycles, deloads, tests, etc up ahead of time and hand off all the math to a computer is great.
3. While it can be a bit difficult to get templates in place if they aren't already configured (you see most of the biggies like Building The Monolith, but some of the less popular ones have to be made from scratch or adapted from similar templates), once you have them laid out it's very easy to follow.
4. There are many good convenience features in the paid version, such as plate calculation that can be configured to work with different bar weights or landmine set ups.
5. Without the full version you can't log custom exercises, but that doesn't mean you can just do the exercises and only use the app for core 531 workOne of the best lifting apps out there.
6. The design is great and very attractive, but the lack of proper plate rounding turned me off from trying it further.Picked this app up after I read 531 Forever since it did a better job handling some of the more complex programs.
7. One is that the weight calculation wasn't rounding to anything realistic (for example, the weight would end in a 1 instead of 5 or even 2.5). The second is that the back button would close out the app instead of going back, which would then freeze the app and require a reset of it.
8. As is you can only track cardio as custom exercises (paid only I think).I have used this app for 6 months I bought the pro ver.
9. Otherwise, it beats using a spreadsheet to keep track of lifts.I gotta say this app is a game changer.
10. My only real complaint is that it automatically updates your training max every time you increase your calculated 1RM, or else you have to do so manually.
11. If you are doing some sort of exercise that's not included, you can create a custom exercise to include in the workouts.
