Powerlift Pro 4+

LOVE!

The Powerlift Pro app has been an invaluable tool in my preparation for my first competition. While it doesn't replace a personal coach, it is tremendously helpful. The app's structure ensures accountability by requiring completion of the current workout before progressing to the next. Key Features: Workout Flexibility- I appreciate the option to substitute exercises when certain movements don't feel right or cause discomfort. Personalized Approach- The app's pre-workout fatigue level assessment is a thoughtful touch, allowing for tailored sessions. Room for Improvement: As an enthusiast of both powerlifting and Olympic lifting, I have one significant request: Olympic Lifting Integration- Adding Olympic lifting programming would be a game-changer. I'm planning for a Super Total event, in the spring, and finding it challenging to combine the app's powerlifting routines with a separate Olympic lifting program. Incorporating Olympic lifting would elevate this app from excellent to indispensable for multi-discipline lifters like myself. It would streamline my training process and allow me to prepare comprehensively using a single platform.

Necessity!!

I have a hard time with lb to kg and this app makes it so easy. I’m able to put in my weight and it’ll show me what my bar will look like with the weight on. It’s a all in one app for anything powerlifting/bodybuilding related. There’s also the new A.I feature that can create a personalized program unique to you.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The new update is annoying

Having to log the RPE twice for literally every set is insane. It takes me forever to log my workouts.

You can’t skip days if you were sick or go back and you can’t pick the workout you want to do that specific day. Lets say I’m tired and would prefer to do upper body instead of an intense lower body day. The app does not allow this! This is not an AI based app. It doesn’t change anything based on what you put in.

Super annoying and I will be canceling my subscription this week

Hi, sorry you feel this way. You can turn off workout logging right on the workouts tab. It's right there below the Start Workout button - so that shouldn't be a problem for you. Logging a Target RPE and an Actual RPE is part of the logging yes. But we use that information to optimize future workouts. If you aren't consistently hitting targets, the app needs to know that.

Also, this app does use A.I. and many variables change over time - sometimes adjustments for a workout weeks away occurs behind the scenes. This isn't an instant gratification app. It's a workout app with sophisticated algorithms. Regardless, the programs are designed to be done in order for maximum effectiveness (we have an enormous amount of data on this)...and that's what a program IS. Jumping around is far less effective. If you want to jump around in a less serious manner we suggest that you try a much simpler workout app that caters to that need. But our data shows that you'll get much better results sticking to a sophisticated human-built A.I.-enhanced program instead of "choosing your own adventure". 

Skipping workouts designed to be done in order is a bad idea.
