vgddfgghhgggg
I originally started using this app after converting to kg from lb plates. It was good for not only helping me know how the bar should look, but also a comparison to the lb conversion that I was more used to. I used it for a while before digging into the other tabs. I like to work up to a daily training max and then do down sets for additional volume. Here is where I found the app incredibly useful. Depending what intensity I want to work at for the day, I can easily calculate the drop I weight for the intensity level. Do 5 sets of 5 with a starting RPE of 7 or 3 sets of 5 starting at RPE 8. Even .5 increments can be entered. The only thing I can thing of is keeping multiple bars in the inventory for switching between from 25kg squat bars, 30kg SSB to 20kg power bars. For now I just manually change the bar weight but find myself googling for the SSB weight since I have long times of not using it. Great job on the app O O O3 whites!

5kg glitch!

I use this app a lot and have for a couple years now. it’s typically great, however over the past year or so myself and many others have run into a 5kg glitch in the “reverse” section where it says the weight on the bar is 5kg lower than what it actually is (i.e. red red yellow on the bar is actually 150kg/331lb but the app is saying it’s 145kg/319lb). no, there was not a setting changed to a different barbell weight or added comp collars or anything, the app randomly glitches and shows the incorrect numerical value for the given kg plates. I still use the app, and it is great 95% of the time, just make sure you always double check, especially if it’s a weight range you’re unfamiliar with.

Developer Response
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. To be clear, this is just in the “Reverse” tab right? I personally haven’t ran into this since 2.6.1, so please be patient for this a resolution for this bug. I have some free time in a couple of weeks and will try to get a fix in by then.

This app is great for gym! Takes away a lot of guess when just getting started and even if regular gym goer. Very easy to use and developer did a great job with making everything simple to understand and has links to anything and everything you could ask when comes to powerlifting, weight tracking, etc! Def worth the download and have it on my main screen for easy access and immediate logging of routines and PR achievements!!

I skip bench day but with this app I get to add 3 red baddies and pretend I did my top single for the day #povertybenchboi All jokes aside, this calculator is simple to use. There are a lot of features available & the app is always being updated with improvements. Most calculators are filled with ads & pop up but not this one. The developer is always available to answer any questions & actually takes feedback into consideration.

Developer Response
I’m going to print this out and put it on my fridge. Thanks!
