v 5.11.2Bug fixes
Nov. 6, 2024
v 5.11.0Exercise Attributes - Exercises have more 'attributes' like grip, leg stance, body position, and direction. These attributes can be used to filter exercises in the exercise list and to differentiate between similar exercises. You can change attributes for your custom exercises, but if you want to change attributes for built-in exercises you must make a copy of the exercise first and then change the attributes.
New Exercises - Added a bunch of new exercises to the app bringing the total to over 1400. In addition to more strength exercises you'll now see some cardio, conditioning, stretching and plyometric exercises.
Exercise images and videos - Added instructional images and videos for most built-in exercises.
Fixed Training Maxes for Weighted Exercises - Going forward, when you enter a training max for a weighted exercise you'll enter your Body Weight + Extra Weight. The app will then calculate the extra weight amount based on the percentage of the total amount. This should make the weight calculations more accurate.
Fixed Wilks Score Chart - Fixed a few bugs that gave a wrong calculation for the Wilks Score.
Edit Body Weight for Completed Exercises - You can now go back to previous workouts (via the calendar or button in the top right of the Workout tab) and change the body weight amount used for the exercise. This is good for anyone to accidentally entered the wrong body weight in the past.
Weight Assisted Progressions - For weight assisted exercises the app will now lower the weight instead of increase it.

v 4.14.0- PR Board. On the Profile tab, you'll see a new data chart called PR board. This shows the highest weight you've lifted at each rep amount from 1-12 reps.
- Wilks score on the profile tab. This is a measure of strength relative to body weight. The app will also let you know after a workout if your Wilks score has increased.
- I've changed how the 'Reps for PR' number is calculated. It used to be based on your highest 1 Rep Max of all time. But after some time this number becomes unattainably high because of things like injuries, breaks, program changes, etc. All normal things in the life of a lifter. So, 'Reps for PR' is now 'Target Reps' and it's based on your highest estimate 1RM over your last 8-12ish completed exercises.
- When creating or editing an exercise, you can now choose an exercise type of Reps x Weight Assisted. This is for exercises like assisted pull-ups, assisted dips, etc.

- Override workout duration. If you perform half a workout, pause for a while, then perform the rest of the workout later in the day the app would calculate workout duration for the entire period including the break in the middle. This is obviously not ideal. Now you can choose to override the workout duration to something more accurate when you finish the workout.
- Band tracking. You can now track the bands you use for an exercise. The resistance amount of the band will be included in volume calculations. You can also edit an exercise to be "band assisted" and the volume calculation will be decreased accordingly.
- Body weight included in volume calculation. Your body weight is now included in volume calculations for "Body Weight" or "Weighted" exercises. This is useful for exercises like pull ups, dips, etc. Each exercise has a body weight percentage that you can adjust to suit your needs, e.g. if you want to count 50% of your body weight for push ups you can set the percentage to 50%.
