## What is 5x5?

5x5 FiveByFive is a no-nonsense strength training tracker built around the proven 5×5 barbell method: five sets of five reps on the core compound lifts, adding weight every session.

Open the app, see exactly what to lift today, tap a dot for each set you complete, and let the rest timer count you down. When you finish, 5x5 bumps your weights for next time automatically — and backs off intelligently when you stall.

CORE LIFTS, DONE RIGHT
• Squat, bench press, barbell row, overhead press, deadlift
• Automatic linear progression — weights go up when you succeed
• Smart auto-deload after repeated misses, so you never get stuck

FAST IN-WORKOUT LOGGING
• Tap to log each set — missed a rep? Tap again to drop the count
• Add extra sets on the fly
• Adjust your working weight mid-session
• Full-screen rest timer with a Live Activity on your Lock Screen

BUILD YOUR OWN PLANS
• Run the classic 5×5 A/B routine or create custom plans
• Edit sets, reps, and exercises to fit your training
• Schedule workout reminders so you never skip a day

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• Complete history of every session
• Progress dashboard for each lift
• Plate calculator shows exactly what to load on the bar
• Syncs completed workouts to Apple Health

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• All your data stays on your device
• No account, no ads, no tracking

Whether you're starting your first barbell program or running a tried-and-tested 5×5, this app keeps it simple: show up, lift, add weight, repeat.
