531 Strength

ThIs app does everything you need, simply and with no frills, which is perfect when you want to be concentrating on training and your lifts. Some nice extras available like the plate calculator which again saves time. As for the Wendler system I’m seeing some solid progress getting me past some sticking points

This is a very simple app but it does fill a whole in the market. There aren’t any good percentage based workout apps that are as flexible as this one. It does tie you in to a specific routine or over complicate things. Just enter your 1RM and see what your 5/3/1 lifts would be. I like the extra set at the end (paid add-on) however it would be much better if you were able to add a few sets for each lift and the percentage And reps you set are saved. I have a different rep/weight scheme for deadlifts than I do with OHP so it would be good to have that programmed in for each lift. If this feature is added then it gets the fifth star for me!

Easy to setup, use and keep track of your workouts. You’re not tracking workouts exactly (which is good for me as tracking everything is a bit of a pain) but the notes allows you to put in where you are on all assistance lifts.

This is just a calculator. It’s does that well, but that’s all it does and the paid additions are bit of a rip off but if you want even more calculators then sure, use them. If it had the option to track reps on plus sets (not just in notes) and plot e1RMs from those that’d be be worth paying for. Otherwise, I can’t fault it for being a great 531 calculator.

Simple but really good training program, great app. Keeps things simple but a good program and proves you don’t have to be over the top / tmi Easy to follow, easy to use and generally just a great app. Highly recommend to anyone trying to increase strength
