Love how far this app has come since first using years ago. Would be amazing if I could input "custom" exercise names, but besides that it's worth it. EDIT: Thanks for responding. Yes I mean the custom additional lifts of course, not the 4 main lifts. For example, split squats, chest flys, and any machine exercises are not on the list. Just add a "custom" category where the user can input their own exercise name and it would be a 5 star app. Edited

Hello Patrick,
Thank you for your review.
Please see settings, custom main lifts for additional 5/3/1 lifts or https://sites.google.com/site/wendler531android/assistance-workouts for additional assistance exercises.

Been using the app for two years now, and for the most part, I really love it. I feel like it paid for itself after a few sessions when I stop and think about the time and effort it would take me to track and calculate all my numbers. Best of all, the app propels my progression forward, and helps me program more load and volume into my work outs than I probably would on my own. That said, I've always experienced a lot of bug issues with this app. If my screen is locked, my rest timer will not go off, and sometimes when I switch between apps, 531 shuts off completely, and I have to re-enter progress. It's really frustrating and breaks the flow of my workouts if I have to pause and re-enter my lifts. Overall, I think this app is amazing. I'm just crossing my fingers that some of those bugs get fixed Edited

Love this app and the training. However, the app will not let me delete the first assistance exercises listed right after the main lifts. For example, squat day has the SLDL after the main lift and i cannot remove it or put anything else before it. you used to be able to change the order of the assistance exercises and add/remove anything except the main lifts. *Update* Assistance exercise deletion mist have been a glitch. Its all working great now. i love how i can actually customize anything. Edited

I really like the app so far. It's not as intuitive as I'd like but with some time you learn how to use it, at least for my purposes. My only question for the developers or users is what does the theoretical 1RM "at the end of the program" mean? Specifically... What IS the "end of the program?" 12 months? 1 month? You see this when you click on the cross hair or 1RM weight numbers on either side of the cross hair on the home screen. Otherwise great app and love the PR rep calculations each week

Hello Torin,
The end of the program is by default after 12 cycles.

Really made it easy to follow 5/3/1, even with tweaks or adjustments. Lots of customization that doesn't ruin everything. At first I didn't see how to add a custom exercise (farmer's carry), but figured out you just push the plus button and it gives you options to make your own. So happy to have an easy system to follow with graphs/charts and no frills.
