Confusing

So far I’m a little confused as to how to use the app, even after reading the instructions.
- I can’t figure out how to do the preset program it mentions
-the AI workouts are confusing to move through because it seems you have to let the timer run down or it won’t count the set as complete (I started just fast forwarding the timer because I keep app interaction minimal between sets)
- if I toggled to another screen it would clear my sets and I had to reenter them
- there’s no way to mark the whole exercise complete. I just had to hit dismiss and then on the main workout page it would say I still had all the sets left

Response from developer

The preset programs will show up after you go through the observation period and there is some training history you can use to match up with an appropriate preset program. During your actual workouts, check the menu icon on the top right of the exercise screen. You can disable the timer there. But you still need to mark the sets as complete and rate the difficulties of each. That feedback is important for the app to figure out what's next.

Fantastic

Best online training app available, and the Facebook group support is unmatched.

Best AI based programming app

Most brillant and updated app for workout routine and powerlifting prep. Lifetime subscription is so worth it.

Amazing

Excellent app. Great support, tons of features, frequent updates. Can’t say enough good things about this app. Buy the velos id if you can afford it, it takes the app to a whole new level, especially if you like to nerd out about statistics.

Everything you need to progress in powerlifting

There isn’t much more I can ask for with this app; intelligent and adaptive training, easy to use app, real-time adjustments as needed, extremely helpful group chat with lots of input and advice from the creator of the app. It’s nice to have to take the thinking out of training; the AI always seems to have a really good understanding of how much to push you and how well you’re recovering to balance your training.

Simplify your life - Use this

This is one of those things that you wish i could have had 10-15 years ago in high school. Having to sit down and manually plan out your lifts takes up a lot of time - and time is money.

Unfortunately, anyone who is serious about training beyond marginally better is bound to the need to either hire someone to tell you what to do or to plan it yourself. I ran into this app almost 2 years ago and it’s one of those things that is well thought out to the point where it seamlessly has integrated into my routine.

I had some questions along the way but the dev has always been good to respond and explain things.

I will say that it’s 10x better with the velocID tracker if you can get your hands on one (they’re hard to come by due to always selling out)

Honestly just take the plunge and try it for a few months - the feeling of being able to go into the gym with a good program while not having to consume your schedule with planning is worth it.

Very pleased with this app.

I bought the lifetime membership and it’s one of the best purchases I ever made.

I’ll take breaks from powerlifting and run other programs for a bit but every time I come back this app has something new and useful for me. Once the 5 day plan is incorporated I may never need to use anything other than the app.

Fantastic work by the developers! Highly recommend it!

Excellent app

I used sheiko workouts in the past. I love low rep, heavy weight, high volume lifting. This app takes all the guess work out. Remember to customize the exercise selection and it picks only exercises available to you and identifies your preferred lifts.

Overall I love this app for how simple it makes lifting. I used to overthink my training plans or tweak them too often. This negates that. I get to just lift.

More Than Just Sheiko

This app keeps getting better with every update. It’s more than Sheiko. You can add your own exercises and build your own workouts.

Superb Customer Service

Been using off and on for years. Had a problem and reported bug. Got an email response from developer not some underling the actual developer and emailed back and forth until issue was resolved. Not only that but the strength and size gains on this app is absolutely amazing. Best program I have used since beginning weight training 30 years ago. If i could give more stars I would so I guess I can do multiple reviews lol.
