Doesnt calculate 2,5 increments

Doesnt work correctly. If you put in an increase of 2,5 every week stays the same.

Incredibly basic

Do not pay for this. It is unbelievably basic.

Wrong Calculations

The app does a good job calculating based off percentages of your inputted 1RM. However, it does not add the 20 and 30 pound increases during the intermediate phase of the program (weeks 4 and 5). It only goes up by the increment you set app (5-10lbs).

Handy

Great overall, but all the resources I viewed mentioned a 20 pound and then 30 pound increase during the base cycle, but the app only calculates a 5 pound incremental increase.

Thanks for the feedback. You should be able to set your preferred increase in the field just below where you enter your 1RM. Hope that helps.

Terrible

Do not buy this. Use the spreadsheet from the official website. Sadly this app just doesn’t work well. Incorrect percentages and poor layout.

Great app for strength building

I have used this program for the last 2-3 years and it has been the simplest and most personalized program I’ve been on. (That’s free) My one thing I’d like to see is for it to be broken down into body parts. i.e. arms, legs, etc. it gets a little lengthy for me and the organization it currently has gets a little rough. Thank you again for a great program! I tell everyone I work with and see in the gym about it!

Needs Improvement

Apps ok. Could use more organization though and progress checks.

Very basic

Not much to say. Just a place to input your work as a record. I have seen way more facility in free apps than this one. Don’t bother paying for it.

Can you provide a little more details about this? Maybe a screenshot? Email it to coach@cultofstrength.com and we'll look into it.

If you work it, It works!

This app got me up to 285 lbs. bench by simply following what it recommended I workout with based solely from my max. I'm 50, & this crazy app got me up to a one rep max of 285 lbs.
I would be at 315 by now had I not quit. This app works great but you have to be patient & let your muscles recover!

It was Great. What happened??

App was great. It got my 1 rep max up by 70 Lbs in a month. But then it got “updated” and now the calculations are off and it leaves all the sets i have to do at the same weight! Really frustrating. Other friends with this app had the same issue

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Can you provide a little more information on the calculations that are "off" We tripled checked them before releasing the update, so it *should* be good to go. Definitely want to fix any mistakes though. One thing to be aware of in the update is that we no longer list sets and reps but have a new line for each set, so it may look like the weights are all the same, but the idea is to make it easier to track while you're lifting. Instead of waiting to complete all your sets before checking the box, now you can check the box after each set. But if there is a problem, please let me know and we'll get right on it.

Got too my switching phase update and now can keep track off my workouts as it crashes all the time really disappointed a good app is now useless 😬

Sorry for the crashes. That's a bug we're trying to resolve, which seems to be a problem for cycles that were created before we released the update. As a workaround, you should be able to create a new cycle which will work fine. If it doesn't, let me know.

It’s okay

App is great. One thing I hate is that when I try to complete my workout it would completely shut off and it won’t keep the check mark by my complete set it will reset everything

Can you tell me if the cycle this is happening on was created before or after the 10/21 update? If before, this is a known bug - we're working on it. Sorry for the trouble. As a workaround, create a new cycle and the app should work just fine. If it doesn't let me know.

Update messed it up

Was a good app until this last update when they separated everything into the actual sets instead of sessions. Now I have to mark off a ton of boxes and also the app won't save any of the boxes I've checked off. Was better before the update.

Sorry for the trouble. This is a bug we're working to resolve. It seems to only affect smolov cycles created before the app update. So, as a workaround, you should be able to create a new cycle and check the boxes off just fine. Know that we're working to get the bug fixed ASAP.

Update has wrecked it.

New update has screwed up my previous recorded workouts part way into a cycle. Also keeps crashing when I try to manually re-record it. Got on worth the old version fine but now I’m going to delete and get a different app.

Solid simple app, 50# gain in one cycle

I have been using the app for Smolov Sr, after the retest week when checking the box for completing a lift if the app is closed and reopened the weights change. If the box is subsequently unchecked, app closed and reopened the weights revert back to original. Have sent an email into support not sure if this is a known issue.

We recently pushed an update out that should resolve this issue. Thank you for notify us.

Disappointed

Not too user friendly, the free online spreadsheet is better and tells you specific dates so you know the gap to take between sessions. Also this app has you lifting differently from the spreadsheet in the intense mesocycle
