This is a perfect example of taking a simple idea and elevating it/ executing it well. Well done!
As someone that has used 531 for a while, I thought an app like this would not add much value. I mean, we can all track our progress in a spreadsheet. But I must say that it looks great.
Thank you! I created it literally because I thought updating spreadsheets on my phone was too clunky. And yeah having the rest timer with notification was useful to keep the pace.
Nice! I used to use it when doing BBB 5/3/1. Sadly I stalled and got depressed.
Recently started GZCLP after getting sad at how bad I started to look with no activity
My one complaint was that there weren’t more sophisticated training regiments. I didn’t work 5/2 weeks so I just went to the gym every other day and I just clicked whatever in the app when working out, while I would prefer to track my days. Otherwise solid app, thanks for the hard work.
Supporting more sophisticated training regiments is exactly what I’m trying to achieve with Vis. Would love your feedback on it if you got any (email in profile)
I assume you have some kind of partnership with Jim Wendler?
The periodization sounds really cool but the success of the app I would think is based entirely on the good marketing Wendler and Elitefts did with 5/3/1.
Wow this is pretty cool. I am working on my first mobile app. what tips can you give. I am planning to build in public on twitter, substack and share my coding process here on HN.
I started with some Apple Search ads which worked pretty well and then did some IG ads which worked well too. I haven’t done any in a while though. Bing and Google ads had really bad results
I'm actively working on a successor that allows you to create your own custom workout programs using formulas: https://vis.fitness
