Description
No more fiddling with spreadsheets and print outs at the gym. This app calculates the weights you should use, based on your one rep maxes, for a 6-week Texas Method strength cycle. The app also makes it easy to keep track of where you are in the cycle and how you've progressed from cycle to cycle. This general purpose, 3 day per week, strength program has been used by many to add some serious weight to their bench press, shoulder press, deadlift and squat. If you're looking for a simple, yet effective lifting program, the Texas Method is likely for you.

Doesn’t show deadlift increments
Super buggy can’t even fill in for power clean, go to mark off an exercise and says great job but doesn’t Mark it
For $.99 it's workable. The same could be accomplished with an excel spreadsheet. The Power Clean always says TBD
The sets are wrong on both day 1 & 3.
Pros: Easy to use Very functional Simplifies the program Cons: Does not keep track of warm up upsets. I would suggest they should improve it by implementing 20, 25,30 lbs warm up increments. Does not allow you to change the workouts. I Pendley row and I do not power clean. In conclusion it's worth 99 cents but could be way better. 3 stars.
It's a very basic app. It annoyingly seems to not save always. I can't figure out why. Sometimes I hit the checkmark, sometimes I click the workout and select done. Both ways give mixed results as far as saving goes. Pretty annoying if I have typed in notes.
Like others have said, the deadlift section does not progress throughout the weeks. The app will also delete data from a week after you close. Has the potential to be good, unfortunately the creators took it out the oven before it was ready. Now I'm just left with some sad, undercooked piece of gristle.
Great App. The deadlift section doesn't calculate weight increases. This seems like a simple fix - why has it not been corrected?
Worthless. Do not buy. Waste of money.
I like the layout. Very easy to follow and update. One problem is that the Deadlift amount does not automatically adjust. Wasted a couple weeks on that lift until I noticed that. Please fix asap.
