2024-06-10	Cl*****	I've been using this program and app for years because it works! My sons and my daughter now use it and we experience major gains each time through. Our target is about 25lbs of growth and I don't think we have ever missed. This approach is sound and proven.

2022-10-25	Jo*****	I like the app but i have questions and issues. I tried to contact the creator but no response after 3 weeks. But maybe somebody knows the answer? My question is that all the way up to workout #10 i was able to do all the lifts and passed all the tests to continue at my current 1 rep max. However on workout 10 i was unable to do my 3rd and 4th set. So do i move on to workout 11 or do i repeat workout 10 until im able to complete the 3rd and 4th sets?

2022-06-22	Pe*****	One of the reasons why I use Android (since this app is not on iOS). This app did not really give me a +50lbs max, but +25lbs for one program. Great improvement. I did one workout every Sunday and Wednesday, and tried to follow each workout to a tee hah. But amazing app, wish there were more fitness apps like this.

2021-07-22	K.*****	It does exactly what it says, it adds 50lb to your starting bench. Challenging, sometimes to the point where you're afraid you can't finish the workout, but you manage to; and to be that comprehensive AND free, it's absolutely fantastic. I was sad when I finished the program.
