Description
Get Strong! But how much weight? How many reps? How often? No need to guess anymore. Lift-This guides you through the popular 5-3-1 strength building plan. Just establish your starting 1 rep max for each of the 4 lifts. Then LiftThis automatically computes your 4 week strength building plan. Just follow the plan.
BONUS: LiftThis computes all of the possible plate combinations at each weight point. For example, you could put 2, 45 pound plates on a 45 pound bar to make 135 pounds. Or, 2 35s and 2 10s. Or, 2 25s and 4 10s, etc. LiftThis always tells you which plates to go get. You know, just in case the plate hog at the other end of the gym is hording all the plates again and you can't find 2 45s.
EXTRA BONUS: Ever look at a barbell with a bunch of plates on it and wonder how much it weighs? LiftThis will tell you with Weight Calculator. Just touch the bar and plates that you see and voila!
DOUBLE BONUS: Want to do 165 pound cleans but you're so winded that you can't subtract the bar weight from 165 let alone divide by 2? LiftThis can help with Plate Combos. Just key in 165, select a bar weight and LiftThis will show you all of the possible plate combinations that make a 165 pound barbell.
TRIPLE BONUS: Now you can add additional lift days beyond the 4 original 5-3-1 lifts in case you want to apply the same formula to other lifts.

The 5-3-1 plans work and this app makes it easy! by Unknown
I had never tried the 5-3-1 strength plans until I got this app. I'm an ectomorph (hard to build muscle) but this helped me gain strength through progression. It's not much (I'm 150 lbs) but I went from a 185 LB deadlift 1RM to 205 LB after the first 4-week cycle. The ONLY suggestion I'd make is to allow a user to add multiple exercises *per day* rather than only one exercise per day. (UI tweak: put the exercise card objects in a vertical stack such as Day 1: Exercise A then under it Day 1: Exercise B and just continue the same Week selecting as done now). Also maybe remove the max exercises per week limit. I spun off an Excel spreadsheet so I could use this method for more exercises than the program allows in a given cycle. But still, I use this daily when doing strength work and I love it! Keep it up!

Great app for what it does. Only complaint is the lack of accessory options. So if you do say the BBB accessory work you still need to manage it elsewhere. Wanted to use this app but I'll stick with my spreadsheet I guess.
