### 3/5 — Solid workout

*2021-12-03*

Doesn’t show deadlift increments

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2020-12-22*

Super buggy can’t even fill in for power clean, go to mark off an exercise and says great job but doesn’t Mark it

### 1/5 — No good

*2019-06-24*

Wont progress deadlift. No features or support

### 2/5 — Sucks

*2019-01-27*

You can’t switch into metric. You can’t customize progression weights, nor exercises.

### 1/5 — Incorrect split layout

*2019-01-15*

Deadlift 1x5 and power clean days are wrong way around

### 2/5 — Needs Updating

*2017-06-20*

For $.99 it's workable. The same could be accomplished with an excel spreadsheet. The Power Clean always says TBD

### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose.

*2016-10-25*

The Texas method is supposed to feature 2.5kg weekly increments; this app works in increments of 5. In the U.S, where lbs are used this isn't an issue, but in the U.K. it's not fit for purpose.

### 3/5 — Sets wrong

*2016-09-12*

The sets are wrong on both day 1 & 3.

### 3/5 — Pros and cons

*2016-05-18*

Pros: 

Easy to use

Very functional

Simplifies the program

Cons: 

Does not keep track of warm up upsets. I would suggest they should improve it by implementing 20, 25,30 lbs warm up increments. 

Does not allow you to change the workouts. 

I Pendley row and I do not power clean. 

In conclusion it's worth 99 cents but could be way better. 3 stars.

### 5/5 — Dummy Proof 😁

*2016-03-02*

Great app for intermediate trainers that need that extra push to a next level. Slow pace wins the race
