REVIEWS FROM THE BRAINBUDDY COMMUNITY "Now I am controlled, stable, focused, and feel super confident. When you save your energy up, you get that unconquerable will where what would have been a huge wall for your old self becomes a little knee-high fence you can step over." "I feel a different person. I'm much more talkative and aware in social settings. At work I'm on top of everything instead of forgetting things and asking people to repeat themselves. It's been over a decade since I started struggling with these habits and this now feels who I truly am." "The clarity for me was extremely noticeable and you will likely feel like a different person. It gave me hope that there is nothing totally wrong with me. Just having that experience of clarity and happiness can be a powerful thing." "Confidence. When I walk down the street I don't feel uncomfortable anymore. I can speak to anyone without feeling shy. It's not that I have become arrogant, I just regard myself on equal footing with others where before I always felt inferior. My social anxiety has completely flown out the window."

Peak Fettle is a workout log for lifting. Log a set in a few taps. Peak Fettle works out an estimated one-rep max from it and ranks the lift as an estimated percentile. Logging - Weight and reps for lifts, time and distance for cardio. - Supersets, drop sets, warm-up sets and a rest timer. - RIR or RPE on any set, if you want it. - EMOM, AMRAP and interval timers. - A load calculator for barbells and machine stacks. - Kilograms or pounds. The weight you type is the weight that is saved. Strength numbers - An estimated one-rep max from your working sets, using the Epley formula. - Estimated percentiles on 51 lifts. They take your sex, bodyweight, age and years trained into account, and they are worked out on your iPhone. - Nine strength tiers, from Iron to World Class. Routines and plans - Starter splits such as Push/Pull/Legs, or routines you build yourself. - A plan generator that builds a weekly plan on your iPhone from your schedule and equipment. - Each plan week lists the sets, target RIR and rest, marks deload weeks, and starts the day's workout in one tap. Streaks and groups - Your streak counts weeks, not days. Log a workout in a week and the streak carries on. - Groups of 2 to 12 people share a weekly goal. You choose how much the other members see. Groups open once your account is 30 days old and has 10 logged sessions.
