Simplicity hides its power

Using generic spreadsheets provided by an online program is all well and good however there’s always the weird exercise you either hate or don’t have the kit for. Once I’d gained some weight training experience, I wanted to create my own program based on ‘best’ exercises for muscle group growth, which meant a heat map would be ideal to ensure I was hitting all the major muscle groups, this app has this.
I took the apps premium option which at under $10 was a bargain.
Next it was down to the exercises, most but not all are in the app with form animations, those that aren’t can be added manually by including the target and secondary muscles.
With the program designed it was onto the workouts, most of the icons in the app are multifunctional with press/hold revealing different features, at first this is frustrating but soon becomes a great way to navigate the app whilst keeping its appearance uncluttered. One great feature I want to highlight is the customisable rest period timer between sets, this is great for focusing on your rest without having to constantly watch check.
As you can see the previous logs for each exercise when it comes to reviewing and adjusting for progressive overload, it’s really easy to make your periodic adjustments. My spreadsheet has been retired and this app is now my gym companion. Not 5 stars as the features could be better explained in an onboarding post
