Leave a Review 5x5 Workout
Percentages off
Madcow is wrong, had you matching your 5x5 in week 12 instead of 4. No option for advanced lifters. It might be a good app if it did what it said it would.Fedor..
Madcow calculations are wrong
I downloaded this to track my progress with Madcow. Immediately after I enter my 5 rep maxes I go to start my squat set and the amounts it wants me to do are not near what they should be based off my 5RM.
Not sure about other exercises, but the day 1 squat has wrong percentages. App has potential, but is completely useless to me right now.Show lessChileconjefe
Madcow default math is off.
The system doesn't properly calculate the weight for each set in accordance with the rules of the program you choose. You can make manual adjustments to get it in the vicinity of the correct progression from set to set, workout to workout and week to week, but a big part of the draw to any app is the assumption that it's going to do what's on the tin--in this case, know the basic mathematical progression of the program and use your 5RM to calculate what you should lift for each set. From the very first lift, it's clear the app wasn't built to do that, which is to say that it's not all clear what it's good for.Show lessLocalRocks
Terrible

Is working well for me but.
This app is working well for me as I do a 14 week Madcow cycle. I do pull ups on Mondays and Fridays and would love to be able to add that in to the tracker and rest cycle timer.Ff0311
Needs improvement
Love the app. Doing the reg Park routine but the rest timer does not go off if outside the app and every time I go into the app my music turns off. Fix this and I'll give it a 5 star.Ok app, needs improvments
Piece of trash
This app is a joke - the Madcow 5x5 isn't the original program and isn't accurate at all. Plus - the rest timer doesn't go off.BenA2000
embarrassing
The squat weight doesn't increase properly from Friday's triple to Monday's heavy set.
This is a simple fix but unfortunately the developers refused to respond to my email when I informed them about it. Very disappointed since I paid for this app and was prompted to inform them of any errors. Feigned concern on their part.Show lesspntrlqst
Crap app
App is easy to use . My only problem is the Madcow program is not the original . Very disappointed.Miller2688
100 pounds really....
The app setup looked nice at first, but the madcow program isn't set up like the original one. According to the program on here my bench should increase by 100 pounds in 12 weeks. Which is overwhelmingly unrealistic.. Definitely doesn't fit the numbers of the original madcow spreadsheet.Gunner Glenn
