Stop guessing. Start progressing. Progressive overload is the only way to get stronger โ Milo of Croton proved it 2,500 years ago carrying a calf until it became a bull. The principle hasn't changed. But your app should give you more than one way to do it. Croton gives you 4 different progression strategies โ not just one. Whether you're adding weight every session, every week, or using double progression for hypertrophy, Croton adapts to how YOU want to train. FEATURES - 4 Progression Strategies โ Linear, double progression, AMRAP-based, or manual - Automatic weight increases โ Set your rules, we handle the math - Smart deload logic โ Automatic deloads when you stall - Workout builder โ Create any workout with 100+ exercises - Session tracking โ Log sets with one tap - Plate calculator โ Know exactly which plates to load - Rest timer โ Customizable between sets BUILT FOR LIFTERS BEYOND LINEAR PROGRESSION Loved StrongLifts but hit a wall? Dealing with an injury or joint issues? Your body doesn't progress in a straight line โ your app shouldn't force you to. Croton lets you choose how you progress, not the other way around.
