No video no pics at all on how to do any specific work outs. Looks like it should have a video but I paid for a few of the work outs and all I got was a list of things to do and how many times to do it. Not any instructions how to do them. many of them are pretty basic and self-explanatory. But why would I pay $1.99 for an app to tell me to “go do seated inclined hammer curls waiting 45-90 seconds between sets. 3 sets and 8-12 reps per. “. Come on at least give a short description of how do sit, or lay, or maybe what not to do. ### 2/5 — Can't adjust fitness levels *2017-10-19* Need to able to adjust the fitness level like in the gorilla workout app. Also, just completed day 13 of the dumbbell discipline workout (chest and back) and they only have upright rows (a shoulder, not back exercise, and a bad one for the joint at that) and deadlifts for back. Really need to up the game with the exercises and make sure to be using exercises that target said muscle groups. ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-09-28* Excellent programs that provide results! I've been lifting for years and this is one of the better lifting programs on the App Store ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2016-07-01* The exercises in this app or a mess like and idiot I bought the Triple S thinking it would get better I would have been better off flushing the $1.99 down the toliet ### 4/5 — Great app *2016-03-29* Love this app my only thing is there are some lifts in there that are more advanced and require proper training to get the proper technique wish they had a list of alternative exercises for certain ones ### 4/5 — Great workout routines *2015-10-06* Quite a nice app. For weight lifting. Has nice routines in it, after observing some of the routines they seem to start you off at a beginners level/pace then it gets a "LITTLE" tuffer. The first day of every workout is a test workout to get you started in the 90day plan then you take two days off because of the muscle soreness then it's back to every other day. The only downside is that it doesn't seem to have that many different exercises to do. Almost every routine/plan has the same exercises that day as another plan would have just in a different day. Needs more types of exercises. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2015-09-01* Thank you for the monthly signature add-ons. It makes the full program in-app purchase worthwhile. ### 4/5 — Love the simplicity *2015-04-28* I like using the app, workouts are easy to do. I wish they had an option to track the weight you used for your workout so you can track progress. ### 5/5 — Total Body Transformation *2015-02-12* I am on my last week of the original program and my results are astounding. Everyone is amazed by my new body. I've gained about 10lbs and my body fat percentage has dropped. As long as you can commit to around 30-45 minutes for the workouts and stick to the plan, this will be the best money you'll spend in the App Store. I'm completely obsessed with this app. ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2014-11-24* This app has eased me back into weight lifting and I love it. ## Frequently asked questions about Gorilla Weight Lifting ### What is Gorilla Weight Lifting?

It was originally released on September 25, 2014. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.10.0 — 2015-08-11 This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. New Signature Program: Full Body Focus Most workouts focus on the 7 muscle groups that are the most visibly noticed (back, quads, shoulders, biceps, triceps, chest, abs); however, many other muscle groups need to be zeroed in on to provide the right level of overall body strength, correct posture, and ample flexibility. Full-Body Focus works out muscles across the board to make sure that you thrive with your complete muscle strength, your overall posture and your primary core. We'll be utilizing Primary Muscle days, Secondary Muscle days, Core days, and Rest/Stretching days to provide maximum results. You'll be performing exercises like Crunches, Planks, Squats, Burpees, Bench Press and tons more for the ultimate full-body routine. ### 1.9.0 — 2015-07-14 New Signature Program: Limitless Lifter This program consists of muscle endurance training, which is the concept of building a capacity to lift heavy weights over a long period of time. Normally, when you lift heavy weight for high repetitions you get both out of breath and your muscles begin to produce lactic acid (the dreaded burn). With proper endurance training, you will be able to lift heavy for longer stretches of time and increase your intra-set recovery exponentially. Check it out! ### 1.8.0 — 2015-06-15 New Signature Program: Athlete Mania Athlete Mania combines many exercise variations. This includes things like heavy lifting, light lifting, sprinting, jogging, walking, plyometrics, body weight exercises and more. By consistently shifting between styles of training, your body becomes able to endure anything, much like that of an athlete. ### 1.7.0 — 2015-05-19 New Signature Program: Muscle Mix Up The way muscle grows and becomes stronger is through adaptation. If you lift a weight in a new way that you've never done before and with a weight that your body is not used to it tears the muscle down and rebuilds it. Your body does this to adapt to that new stimulus so that the next time you perform that same lift it becomes easier. As you perform the same movement and weight over several weeks the body begins to slow down that adaptation and you hit what is known as a plateau (you stop getting stronger and muscle stops growing). Muscle Mix Up is Gorilla Weight Lifting's Signature Program to stop the dreaded plateau. Muscle Mix Up exposes your muscle's to large and varying movements and weights that maximize muscle adaptation without ever doing anything so often that adaptation declines. Muscle Mix Up rotates between the highest intensity strength training like heavy bench press and dumbbell exercises all the way through lower intensity body-weight exercises to keep muscle stimulus fresh and effective. ### 1.6.0 — 2015-04-27 New Signature Program Added: Anchor Arms Everyone wants great looking arms. Arms are typically one of the only muscle groups visible at all times so there's nothing better to show people that you workout than your arms! We'll be working biceps, triceps, forearms, and we throw in some abs for good measure in this 90 day program. You'll be cycling Barbell days, Dumbbell days, and Bodyweight days to hit your arms at every possible angle to get maximum growth and strength. This program guarantees arm hypertrophy and strength gains like you won't believe. What are you waiting for? This is your ticket to the gun show ;) ## Apps similar to Gorilla Weight Lifting | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [For Fathers Fitness 2.0](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/for-fathers-fitness-20/id1627895225) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [WeGym Studio](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wegym-studio/id6670750198) | 4.6 (9) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Breatheee](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/breatheee/id1375329558) | 4.8 (6) | $4.99 | Health & Fitness | | [Dermi - Skin Care Journal](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dermi-skin-care-journal/id1570511480) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [HITFIT - Group Fitness](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hitfit-group-fitness/id1569776820) | 4.7 (10) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Spotter - Gym Workout Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/spotter-gym-workout-tracker/id1575404760) | 5.0 (5) | Free | Health & Fitness | ## More apps by Heckr LLC - [Gorilla Workout: Build Muscle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gorilla-workout-build-muscle/id434101127) - [Gorilla Workout Lite: Bodyweight Fitness Program](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gorilla-workout-lite-bodyweight-fitness-program/id455258137) - [HIIT Timer - High Intensity Interval Training Timer for Weight Loss Workouts and Fitness](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hiit-timer-high-intensity-interval-training-timer-for-weight-loss-workouts-and-fitness/id771085669) - [Tabata Timer: Tabata for Cycling, Running, Swimming, and Bootcamp Workouts](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tabata-timer-tabata-for-cycling-running-swimming-and-bootcamp-workouts/id814155307) All apps by Heckr LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/434101130 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
