The latest app for weightlifters doing Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program! Five/Three/One is a focused and intuitive app helping you achieve what really matters: Getting Stronger. No more bringing a crumbled workout sheet to the gym, no more messing around spreadsheets to update your weights. From calculating your cycles, to telling you what plates to put on the bar, Five/Three/One does it all. Features include: - Planning and scheduling your whole 5/3/1 cycle - Charting your progress - Rest timer with notifications - Automatic plating calculation - Calculating your next cycle based on your performance - Notes associated with each sets - Home screen widget showing your your current and upcoming workouts - Lbs/kg support Optional paid features: - Customize which plates you're using and change your barbell's weight - Customize templates assistance work and define your own exercises - Beyond 5/3/1 templates and options, from Joker Sets to FSL, Pyramid and much more! Integrates with Apple Health : The app saves the workouts you've performed as well as the calories you've burnt in Apple Health. As weightlifters doing 5/3/1 ourselves, we made the app we wanted after being dissatisfied with what was out there. More than just a glorified spreadsheet, we designed it to be focused on each task at hand. With even more great features in the pipeline, we're stoked to release the app for others to use and can't wait to hear your feedback! We use it, we love it, and we're sure you will too.

Great app, best way to track 5/3/1. One suggestion though

There are a lot of spreadsheets and apps floating around for tracking a 5/3/1 workout plan, but this one is by far the best. Easy to use, not confusing like many other apps. Be aware that in order to select custom accessory work (which is basically a must in my opinion) you need to pay a small fee, but that’s a totally fair price to pay on my opinion. All that said, there’s one feature I’d love to see. I’d love to see a way to track weight in the accessory work so I can easily see how much I lifted last time and track how my accessory lifts progress over time. Right now I just write the weight in the notes, but I’d love a dedicated way to input it, and I’d love a display on the accessory lifts that states how much weight you used last time you did that lift,

Great way to generate alternative workouts

This app is worth it if you are looking for something to quickly generate modifications to workout routines. Its free to start. It costs about 10$ to get the needed add ons for the assistance workouts (which id recommend). The app’s strength is its ability to quickly generate sets and reps based on basic 531 patterns. The interface is easy to use and the timer works well. The only quirk is that you have to do the sets in order. This makes sense for the program…bit if you are in a crowded gym sometimes its hard to do all in order. All that said this gets 5 stars because it is a major time saver. Great job by developers.Fwiw I like this app in combination w strong. Strong allows for more customization but takes a bit longer to program. Admittedly though 531 is stil great here for those workouts as it moves you out of doing the same set/rep range

Customizable but a little restricting

The app is very customizable assuming you want exactly what is pre-programmed for the primary workouts. I was hoping for a FSL add on to each workout similar to the jokers but you have to choose it as the primary and then edit the assistance workouts. This will require buying the optional add-ons. The other restriction is you are stuck with whatever order your assistance lifts are set as prior to the workout. Not helpful in a busy gym where you need to adjust on the fly. This app is also limited to the original 531 (beyond) and doesn’t consider 531 forever so if you want those workouts, you are out of luck. In general, the app does what it says it does, fairly good customization but limited for on the fly adjusts.

(Was)Great program - too many bugs - no support

I’ve used this for a year about and I love(d) the ease of scheduling and the way it increases weight as you progress through cycles. Unfortunately if you miss a workout you need to be in the calendar view to reset it and move your other workouts. If you do it from the page “missed workouts” it will move only the one and now they’re mixed up. There’s no undo. Calendar now randomly goes to old dates. There’s no resetting or canceling a cycle and starting over and finally there’s no support or documentation. So good luck.Also, now that I’m at the gym, I’m remembering that you can’t do exercises out of order. If a machine is being used you have to just wait to continue with the app.There are better options.
