Members of the Calgary Barbell Training Team get a multi-faceted resource to help propel your training beyond just downloading a template with 0 guidance. Our App includes: Programming: You get access to a continuously growing library of nearly 50 programs, and access to any new programs added. These plans run the gamut from competition-specific powerlifting peaks to powerbuilding, equipped lifting, and cater to a wide array of experience levels, from first-time lifters to advanced powerlifters. Tools for Individualization: There are many baked-in tools to help you swap and modify the programming to *actually* suit your *individual* needs. You're not locked into a spreadsheet template, you actually have interactive programming. Beyond this, using our community Discord, our coaches will actually guide you in making those decisions and individualizations. Extensive Training Log: Track your progress, store and upload all of your training footage (no more full phones from trying to keep track of your lifting footage!), and always be able to reference back to your past training data quickly and easily. Sync data from Apple Health to stay accountable with step counts, bodyweight tracking, and nutritional data/ Coaching: Through our exclusive app-users-only Discord, Bryce and the Calgary Barbell coaches do weekly video check-ins and are constantly available to answer questions about the programs, take suggestions for new programs, and generally offer a very hands-on coaching experience alongside the program library. Features to highlight include - Know exactly what weight to put on the bar for optimal training (%1RM / RPE) - Upload videos and share them. - Keep track of your actual results directly in the app - Watch exercise demo videos directly in the app to perfect your lifting technique - Automatically track all your training metrics to ensure you are progressing toward your goal - Mark sets off as complete as you progress through your workout to stay organized. - Sync your account with HealthKit to track all your health and fitness data in one place including nutrition, steps and bodyweight. - and much more…
