## What is 5x5 Strength?

5x5 Strength is a simple, no-nonsense strength training app focused on progressive overload and the classic 5x5 lifting method.

Instead of managing spreadsheets or complicated workout plans, you simply enter your starting weights once and the app handles the rest. Every workout is tracked, timed, and automatically adjusted based on your performance.

The app supports the core compound lifts, including Squat, Bench Press, Deadlift, Overhead Press, Barbell Row, and Lat Pulldowns (optional for those looking to fill that 'vertical pull' gap). 

Your current working weight for each exercise is displayed on a clean dashboard, making it easy to see exactly what you need to lift next.
Starting a workout takes only a few taps. Select an exercise, choose your rest time, and begin. During the session, the app displays your target weight, current set number, and a built-in timer to keep you focused between sets.

After each workout, the app asks whether you successfully completed all prescribed sets and reps with good form. If you did, the app automatically increases the weight for your next session. If not, you can choose to repeat the weight, reduce the weight slightly, or temporarily lower the volume to continue progressing safely.

You remain in full control at all times. Working weights can be adjusted manually whenever needed, making it easy to correct mistakes, account for gym equipment differences, or recover from time away from training.

5x5 Strength is designed for lifters who want a clean, distraction-free experience. No social features, no subscriptions, no unnecessary complexity—just a simple and effective way to get stronger, one workout at a time.
