Switched gyms recently and now the smallest plate is 5lbs. The app provides rounding to 5lbs plates, but there is a bug in calculations. If you select rounding to 5lbs plates it starts churning out numbers rounded to the nearest 10 which is incorrect. The bar is 45lbs + 2x45plates so it's 135lbs, not 130 or 140 as the app suggests.

So I am just keeping it at 2.5 and rounding up or down as I feel. Please fix this. Thanks.

Show a plate calculator in exercise and timer view

I could not do 8 presses in one cycle, when TM was 120, so I didn’t fill it, nailed it the next week, then 125, and now for the next cycle it suddenly deloaded overhead press to 45 instead of 130.

It seems like these are just one variable, which is fine since I have no idea what my close bench max would be. But they’re labeled differently in app. It’s not really a problem once you figure it out, but I felt like an idiot for a minute trying to figure out why my bench press weight was messed up.

Easy possible solution is just change the label on the Close Grip Page to read “Bench Press Training Max”.

Part of #39

For the workout could you please get rid of the whitespace on the top and make everything bigger, and bolder so it's easier to see when the phone is on the floor and easier to mark completed when you bend down.

It's very important that the whole workout should fit the standard iPhone screen without scrolling for screenshots.

Could you please add a github link to the app so we could at least provide some suggestion.

Not a massive issue but can you look into rounding in metric units? Some of the weights don’t really work out when converting

Hi, can you add the ability to only increase weight once per week, versus once per workout? Maybe a checkbox for "per 7 days" to increase, or "every sunday" increase? Mine sometimes increase the weights correctly (Fierce 5 novice routine), and sometimes they don't. It has put me behind because sometimes I think it added weight but it did not. Thanks.

Edited by @JonnyBeeGod:
Introduce a new setting to change the progression scheme of the app.
It should be a global setting affecting all templates because there is no need to distinguish progression based on the used template.

Original comment:

Have you considered allowing us to change the progression settings based on the number of 1+ reps performed? I find I quickly hit walls if I go up in weight when I only get 2 reps of something and I have dealt with this by subtracting 1 from my actual rep count when I record it in the app. Is it possible to include a way to change the progression formula in the template editor?

It almost seems like this was originally intended, because when you go to select the weight for an accessory exercise, "kg" is there and you can kinda spin it, but there is no "lb" option to switch it to.

I use KG bar/plates but LB dumbells, so it would be nice to be able to record things correctly. It isn't a huge deal though, because when I look at my history, I know what type of weight I was using even though it is labeled as KG on a dumbell accessory. So, this is pretty minor.

Right now, when you start a new cycle, the tabs all start on Monday. They should be dynamic based on when you created that cycle.

Allow sets to be marked as failed sets and edit the number of reps

After a completed set and rest timer has finished there is a notification showing the amount of reps for the next set. It would be nice to be able to 3D Touch the notification and mark the next set as completed or failed.

To be verified: This can only work with non-AMRAP sets, since there is no way to provide number input from the 3D Touch menu

I just moved from 5 day to 6 day squat and I noticed that the graphs no longer display the weight/numbers.

If I jump back to 5 day, they show up again.

Accessories up to now only show how many sets were performed the last time this accessory was performed. However the # of sets is only one metric for comparison, others would be # of reps or weight. So it would be nice if the accessory screen would provide these informations as well.

Options would be

• Link to the last accessory screen
• Shortened information in a popup

On the latest version of the IOS beta, I cannot input my training maxes when opening the app for the first time. I enter in my TM, click update, and it resets the number back to 0 and doesn't properly update the max. The behavior of tapping on the update training max button is always weird and does not show the proper animation when it is tapped.

If I have an exceptionally good day in the gym and I get 5 reps on my OHP AMRAP but I know next week I can't work with a 5kg increase I want to lower the progression to 2.5 kg now instead of having to remember to lower the Training Max when adding the new cycle next week.

Also I might want to lock progression for certain lifts if I'm not feeling comfortable upping the weight although I got > 1 reps on my AMRAP

I love the notification after the timer, but I easily forget how many reps the next set should be. So would love a reminder in the notification, instead of having to open the app again to double check.

If iOS settings are cleared, the app doesn’t ask back for the timer’s notification permissions. When selecting the permit notifications for timer option in settings, there are no notification options available.

The only way to do it is reinstalling the app, which deletes all the workout history.

6 day squat shows recommended accessories as “Recommended: “

Doesn’t seem to be the case for other templates.

Possibly caused from making a new template based on that template as I did this for 6 day squat and 6 day squat and my new template had “Recommended: “.
Not sure if 6 day squat had this issue before.

The end result I'm interested in is getting the lift weights to round to the nearest 1kg, instead of 2.5kg, so in this case I'd want a 0.5kg option for "smallest weight plate". Can make all the difference on my poor OHP! :)

I mentioned this on twitter and now i'm here. Thank again for the app!!

Share your progress, see how other are doing and compare your results.

It'd be neat if the accessories view showed when the accessory was last performed.
For example, change 'You got X sets the last time you did Y' to 'You got X sets on Z/Z/Z' which would be the last day you performed it.

This would allow the user to easily go back to that day and see exactly how many sets/reps they did for that exercise and base their workout off of those number (example: adding 1 more rep than last time, adding 5 pounds since last time). Also, would reduce the redundancy of showing the exercise name in both the title and the 'subtitle'.

Changing the unit or the smallest weight plate in the settings can update the weight of already logged sets as well. The weight of logged sets needs to be persisted

If I record sets for Deadlifts on Thursday but change my Sumo Deadlift TM on Saturday, it'll overwrite Thursday's lifts. It won't overwrite after a new cycle though.

Not sure if this is by design or not, but I noticed after 11 cycles, the labels disappear for the charts in the Progress tab. In my opinion, there should be at least some labels shown (if not all but I can see why this might not work) so there's a clear view of progression.

Some ideas for which TMs to show on the graph include: last 5 cycles, first cycle + last 5 cycles, every other cycle, every Xth cycle (maybe use 20% steps), etc.

It'd be even better if this was a settings and you could choose how you'd like your progression to be displayed.

It should not be possible to get calculated weights like x.25 even with microloading set as weight.

For example this week on my +1 squats I did 120kg x 5 as per the app at that time but now I notice it says that I done 118.75 for 5 which is throwing my figures off for next week. I find that adjusting my TM manually isn’t really fixing this as it’s giving me figures that I wouldn’t be able to do. I believe this is an issue with rounding is there a fix for this?

Allow the main lifts to be changed. Adjustable percentages should have been implemented first

App crashes from time to time if a timer is running and the app is suspended to the background

Option for running the timer also between accessory sets.
Enable / disable accessory timer independently of main timer in settings.
Accessory timer stores running time independently of main timer

Hey, it would be cool if we had a graph for bodyweight and one that included all lifts together along with bodyweight. Thanks :)

For overhead press, I’d like to use 1.25lb plates, but for squat/deadlift it’s not worth being that precise, so I’d like to use 2.5lb plates.

Hi Jonny, thank you for all your work on this app.

I was wondering if you could add the ability to edit the training maxes for 'linked' lifts so they can be adjusted separately.

For example; my training max for the Squat is higher than my training max for my front squat. Currently, my training max for both squat and front squat have to be the same in the app.

I understand that perhaps the two lifts such as squat/FS, Bench Press/Close Grip, DL/Sumo DL are supposed to be linked according to the program, though I could not find any information on this. If this is the case please let me know and I will just adjust my program accordingly!

I've found that deselecting accessories for a workout will remove it even if it has completed sets. For example, if I select all my accessories and insert all my sets but I go to add another exercise and accidentally deselect it, it'll remove all completed sets. This occurs when you deselect the exercise and press Done and even if you deselect the exercise, then reselect it, then press Done.

Ability to attach progression photos to workouts

Hi,

There are only 2 apps in the App Store which are usable, and I tried them all. Let's take yours to the next level.

Please make everything more contrast, I am not holding my phone in the gym. I am holding a barbell. The phone rests in the corner. I need to see what is going on across the room. It should be big and bold.

I have colors disabled so here is what it looks like now:

Here is what it should be. Today I OHPed half the T2 before I have noticed that it should be a Close Grip bench:

Even better make it contrast enough so one can see from the distance that the screen lights up, meaning the rest is up:

Please consider, those are the things that I always think about in the gym because it seems that every app is meant to be held up close all the time. I am using a Plus sized iPhone with Zoomed in screen because I want everything to be visible from the distance and only touch it in the gym to mark complete sets.

Thanks!

It would be awesome if, similar to the main lifts, the app would remember which accessories were used on a per-workout basis and increment them additionally on a per-workout basis.

It would be nice to be able to have support for timed exercises like planks, which are mostly held out for a number of seconds instead of a fixed number of reps and weight.

In case of a timed exercise there is no number of repetitions, but a number of seconds instead. Weight should still be customizable

Add functionality to add notes to either simply accessories or main lifts too, would be useful to note how exercises feel & how the session went, or whether a belt
or super sets were used

It should be possible to add new secondary lifts like rack pulls so they can be programmed as T1/ T2s. Adding a secondary lift means

1. adding it to the list of secondary exercises which can be configured in the template editor.
2. linking the secondary lift's training max to a already existing Training Max or having a separate Training Max.

Must be implemented after #16

• Haptic feedback
• Stars for PRs in charts view

Support predefined templates from accessory check of /r/nSuns subreddit. Each cycle you can chose a template and the accessories for each training day will be auto filled
Ability to define custom templates would be nice as well

In my opinion, +15 secs and -15 secs on the timer would be better. I personally take a 45 second rest.
