Beyond Normal: 5/3/1 Bar Path

Squat, bench & deadlift speed

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.

On-device bar path & velocity from one phone video — deadlift and bench, no wearable. Every session grades itself: PRs, adherence, volume, and what to do next. Beyond Normal — Strength NEW — WORKOUT ANALYSIS Every session grades itself. The app knows what it prescribed and what you lifted, so it does the math: 1RM change, PR facts, whether your training max has gone conservative, and real working volume. The verdict is free on every workout; the full breakdown is Premium. NEW — BAR PATH & VELOCITY (SQUAT, BENCH & DEADLIFT) Film your AMRAP set, trim to your reps, and see your bar path, rep speed, and velocity loss — all on-device. No wearable. Export it as a video with your numbers burned in. Press is next. Most fitness apps track numbers. Beyond Normal builds lifters. It's a training companion engineered for those who want more than metrics — who want mastery. Built on the proven foundation of 5/3/1, it pairs an intelligent programming engine with an AI strength coach so you can focus on what matters: showing up, pushing hard, and evolving. --- The Philosophy Normal is everywhere — overcomplicated plans, endless tracking, mental clutter. But strength is simplicity. Progress comes from rhythm, consistency, and intelligent variation. Beyond Normal strips away the noise and gives you the system, feedback, and clarity to train with purpose. The app doesn't shout. It doesn't gamify. It refines. --- Key Features - AI Strength Coach Diagnoses the weak point limiting each main lift and prescribes the assistance exercise that addresses it. Turns abstract programming questions into a concrete plan. - AI Post-Workout Debrief A short, intelligent check-in after every session that translates effort, recovery, sleep, and red flags into a continuous readiness score. - Adaptive Autoregulation Training maxes progress algorithmically from your AMRAP PRs and hold automatically when readiness signals fatigue. No grinding into a wall. - Intelligent 5/3/1 Engine A living algorithm that manages progression, intensity, and volume — so you can train intuitively without losing precision. - Kilograms or Pounds Train in kg or lb — entry, plate math, rounding, and progression all follow your choice, on iPhone and Apple Watch. - Readiness Analytics 3-, 6-, and 12-month trends with factor-level drill-downs across sleep, effort, soreness, and strength. Watch how your training shapes your recovery. - PR Medals Beautifully designed digital medals for every personal record — with a Masculine, Feminine, or Neutral figure you choose. A reminder of the work, not just the numbers. - Apple Watch Companion Log working sets hands-free from the bar. Phone and Watch stay in sync. - Data You Own Export your full training history as CSV — free, always. Premium adds full JSON backup with re-import. - Instant Tools, No Install Plate math, 1RM, and a free bar-path demo (deadlift) run as App Clips — no install required. --- Free and Premium The core 5/3/1 program, classic TM progression, CSV export, weekly AI debriefs, and your workout verdict are free, forever. Premium unlocks bar path & velocity, unlimited AI debriefs, the AI strength coach, adaptive autoregulation, full readiness analytics, and complete data portability. - Monthly — 30-day free trial, then billed monthly - Annual — billed yearly. Best value. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled. Manage in your Apple ID settings. --- Privacy No user accounts. No analytics SDKs. No ad trackers. No data sold, ever. Your training, notes, and settings stay on your device. The AI features send only the workout context — lift, sets, reps, AMRAP — to Anthropic via our privacy-respecting proxy so Claude can coach you. Nothing else is shared. You control your data — always. --- Beyond Normal We were not built for normal. Beyond Normal is training as it was meant to be — deliberate, intelligent, and alive. Because in a world of noise, discipline is clarity. And strength — real strength — is freedom.

Two big additions since your last update — plus a first run that finally makes sense. WORKOUT ANALYSIS — Every session is now graded automatically. The app knows what it prescribed and what you lifted, so it does the math: estimated 1RM change, PR facts, whether your training max has gone conservative, real working volume, and every deviation between plan and reality. Your headline verdict is free on every workout. BAR PATH & VELOCITY (Premium) — Film your AMRAP set — squat, bench, or deadlift — trim to your working reps, and see your bar path, rep-by-rep speed, and how much velocity you lost across the set. Entirely on-device. No wearable, no sensor. Press is next: the bar travels around your head, so its path needs its own model. SET UP IN UNDER A MINUTE — Tell the app what you've lifted — a max, or a recent set — and it builds your program and shows you your first working set, plates included. It never shows you a number you didn't give it. AI THAT READS YOUR NUMBERS (Premium) — The full analysis breakdown, narrated: what happened, why it matters, what to do next cycle. Your post-workout check-in now opens already knowing how the session went. TRY BAR PATH FREE — An App Clip lets anyone run deadlift bar-path tracking on a set without installing the app. ALSO NEW • A refreshed 531 app icon • Rebuilt assistance catalog, organized around the weak point each exercise fixes • Redeem a code right inside the app • The rest-timer pill is draggable FIXED • Volume now counts only the sets you actually logged • BBB sets record real completion instead of assuming it • A custom assistance bar weight no longer leaks into other exercises' plate math • The paywall dismisses itself when your subscription activates Build the rhythm. Trust the system. Go beyond normal.
