It’s good but…

I love a lot about this set up. Good workouts, periodization, and takes away a lot of them overkill from other ai apps. It also doesn’t murder you with volume like JuggAI/EvolveAI. Some things though:

- The app info states there is place to ask questions to the AI by clicking on the avatar which is not the case

- More of a “black box” approach where you don’t really see the big plan - more of a historical and one day at a time visual.

- No option to undo a rest day log. Like if you log a rest day and decide you want to log a workout instead, you can’t undo it. (Although you can still start a workout, but presumably the rest day you logged remains?

- No option to go back to the previous day if you forgot to log a rest day

Thanks for the feedback. - The AI chat has been removed. I've also updated the help page to remove references to the chat function. - The black box comment is something I don't quite get. You determine your training objective when you select a training period (e.g. off-season focus on hypertrophy or pre-comp focus on 1RMs). That's the high level view. Your daily view consists of rotating bench/squat days and bench/deadlift days. The level of stress depends on your state of readiness and the specific exercises assigned depend on your chosen pool of exercises for each movement. So it's all rather predictable from that vantage point. - No need to undo rest days. Those are simply wellness check-ins without workout data. If you follow up and do a workout, that data is simply added for the day. - Back dating data is not available, that's true. However, the app can function with a missing rest day. If you haven't already done so, please join the Facebook group so we can share ideas and address issues that pop up in the course of using the app.

Good until the latest version

Works great, particularly with the velocity meter, but the latest update is very buggy. Crashes multiple times per workout and doesn’t record the last set. Of course the bug report function also doesn’t work, so you can’t report all the bugginess.

Hi Fasterfour. The bug report requires your mail app to be set up. An alternative is to report bugs through the Facebook group. Fortunately, I think whatever the issue is has already been resolved. I currently see 100% crash free statistics on the server.

Absolutely Fantastic !!!

First let me state, I am NOT a competitive powerlifter. But I am a competitive amateur athlete that has made a living as a full-time personal trainer and coach for the last 25 years. This app has everything a serious lifter could ask for to quantify their training. HRV, RHR and other metrics to assess athlete readiness before and RPE during the workout vs. loads, reps and sets; all combine to create an impulse response model to training that is the best I have seen for the gym. You can add your own exercises to your app’s library and the entries are very specific and detailed. You can add velocity accelerometer data that synchs to the app. And this is just scratching the surface. The thought that went into this is simply outstanding. But this app isn’t for everyone. This app is for athletes that value optimizing and quantifying training loads and are students of the craft. It will take about 30 days of entries before the AI in the app becomes helpful and you must enter the data, all of it. If you can’t do that you’re wasting your time. But for the focused and disciplined this app delivers!

Really helpful

I am coming back from a major health issue and was uncertain how to structure my training. This app takes my wellness into account and removes a lot of uncertainty. It also increases my motivation to train by telling me when to train and by allowing me to set things up so that the training isn’t going to be too tough.

Was hopeful, but was left disappointed

No option to delete or log past workouts, and no way to sync data from Sheiko Classic app. Very rigid app that offers very little flexibility.

Pretty good

Would love if the order of exercises you’re doing was easier to move. Takes me and my partner 5 minutes to just drag them up and down. But good app!

i love this app

can we please get an ios 16 permanent widget with the time remaining between lifts?

Also, for non competition lifts, can we get some information on how many sets we should be doing? without this, the next time you do a lift it just makes the number of sets whatever you did last time.

Thanks!!
